Constitutional supremacy, normative hierarchy, and human rights in Mexico: historical jurisprudential evolution and current narratives

Abstract

This article develops a historical analysis of the relationship and reception of international law and its instruments in Mexican domestic law through its jurisprudential practice. Building on this, it shows a certain legal-institutional imbalance due to human rights-favorable perspectives in front of restrictive or limiting interpretations. Ultimately, the article aims to show how current narratives on constitutional supremacy and normative hierarchy in Mexico are not entirely consistent with the current globalized human rights reality.

Keywords:
human rights; constitutional supremacy; normative hierarchy; international law; jurisprudence
