Impact on Political-Electoral Rights
My professional experience integrates a binational perspective that has enriched my understanding of the link between political rights and human rights. This vision has been decisive in my career, particularly during my time at Laboratorio Electoral, where I acted directly as a party in strategic litigation aimed at expanding the exercise of political-electoral rights for persons with dual nationality and other historically excluded groups.
As a result of these litigations, the Superior Chamber of the Electoral Tribunal of the Federal Judicial Power (TEPJF) issued high constitutional impact criteria that strengthen the principles of equality, non-discrimination, and effective access to public office. Notable among them are:
Jurisprudence 25/2024
"Right to integrate local and national electoral authorities. The restriction requiring Mexican nationality by birth to access a council position is contrary to constitutional regularity."
As plaintiff, I contributed to the Superior Chamber declaring unconstitutional the exclusion of persons with dual nationality or Mexicans by naturalization from electoral council positions, eliminating a discriminatory restriction and expanding equal access to electoral public functions.
Thesis XIV/2017
"Polling station boards. It is unconstitutional to exclude citizens with dual nationality from their integration."
In this litigation, also as plaintiff, I obtained recognition that excluding citizens with dual nationality from the integration of polling station boards violated the right to non-discrimination and unjustifiably limited their participation in essential electoral functions.
Both precedents were issued by the TEPJF Superior Chamber and constitute binding jurisprudential references in matters of political-electoral rights and non-discrimination.
