The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) strongly called on companies to respect the human rights of their workers, because although the right to decent work is supported in Article 123 of the Constitution, in the In practice this does not apply on various occasions.
In Mexico, he assured, it is established that it is essential that each person work under working conditions that guarantee their physical, psychological and/or social integrity, which is why the CNDH presented Recommendation 37, which is a compilation of the past three decades that analyzes various cases in which companies have systematically violated the rights of their workers.
In the cases of extractive and energy industries, he noted, they have violated local communities who are not asked for their opinion when settling in and carrying out their work.
In this area, it was highlighted that the companies - whose names the CNDH reserved - that most violate the law are those that have contracts or are winners of tenders under the protection of federal, state and municipal authorities.
This reality, he specified, does not seem to be changing with the entry of the current federal administration that is going down the same path.
Recommendation 37 identified 11 industrial sectors in which human rights violations are committed. The most common are public services (17%), agribusiness (14%), energy (14%), construction (12%), tourism and entertainment (11%), hydrocarbons (9%) and extractives (8%). .

He specified that the “telecommunications, energy France Mobile Number List or manufacturing sectors produce important impacts on human rights. Particularly when they carry out natural resource extraction activities.”
He regretted that different agencies of the federal and state governments allow and consent to the development of megaprojects in the construction, extractive, agribusiness and energy sectors without prior and free consultation under the precept of good faith with indigenous peoples, which results in violations of the right to a healthy environment and health.
On the point of sustainability, without pointing out possible perpetrators, he added that those citizens who have come out in defense of the human and environmental rights of their communities have recently been murdered.
Companies, key role
The CNDH official indicated that it is necessary to strengthen the leading role that companies play and must have to protect human rights since they continue to operate without prevention measures being required of them and remain without repairing damages to workers.
During the analysis of this study carried out by the CNDH, it was proven that in 29 years human rights violations were carried out due to business activities that occur to the detriment of communities of fishermen, ejidatarios, peasants, day laborers, residents, women, minors, people with disabilities, migrants, older adults and indigenous peoples, without the government avoiding them.
Within the Recommendation, 65 recommendations issued from 1990 to 2018 for human rights violations in the business context were noted, 72% were committed by companies that had a legal link with the government, 44.5% of those cases through a authorization, permit or license, 30% with the signing of public contracts and 25.5% through concession titles.
It should be noted that the main groups affected by this situation are workers at 25%, migrants at 22%, indigenous peoples and communities at 16%, day laborers at 16%, girls, boys and adolescents at a 13%, women 6%, and journalists 3%.
For this reason, the CNDH presented 32 recommendatory points to 91 federal and state government authorities to achieve a business culture of human rights through public policy that needs to update its laws on the matter.
