The UK recognises the growing threats faced in Mexico by many Human Rights Defenders
(HRDs), including those protecting religious freedom. Officials in the Embassy in
Mexico City have regular contact with HRDs and Civil Society Organisations that support
them. We work with international partners to monitor cases, observe trials and raise
issues with the government. We are working closely with the government of Mexico to
support a human rights agenda, including tackling corruption and strengthening the
legal system, which some reports suggest are contributing factors to the challenges
that HRDs face. Over the past four years, UK Ministers and officials at our Embassy
in Mexico City have raised our human rights concerns with the Mexican Government and
will continue to raise these, including as part of follow up to the last UN Universal
Periodic Review.
