Mexico judicial and institutional disputes

Overview

The International Association of Magistrates (UIM) expelled Mexico’s National Commission of Superior Courts of Justice (CONATRIB) during its 68th annual meeting in Lisbon. The UIM determined that CONATRIB’s support for the 2024 judicial reform—which enables the popular election of judges—violates international standards regarding judicial independence and merit-based appointments.

While CONATRIB defended the reform as an exercise of popular sovereignty, international rapporteurs concluded the response failed to address concerns over judicial autonomy. The National Association of Circuit Magistrates and District Judges (JUFED) expressed support for the expulsion, noting it highlights risks to the autonomy of Mexico’s jurisdictional bodies.
