MEXICO
PLEDGE FORM
1. The Mexican Government pledges to review the reservations formulated upon its accession to the 1951 Convention relating to the
Status of Refugees.
2. The Mexican Government pledges to continue working to ensure
that, within the context of migration flows, asylum-seekers are
adequately identified and that the protection-sensitive entry systems are reinforced with differentiated procedures and processes
(particularly regarding victims of trafficking and unaccompanied
girls, boys and adolescents).
3. The Mexican Government, in close cooperation with UNHCR,
pledges to work to guarantee that the procedure for refugee status determination is in accordance with the highest international
protection standards.
4. The Mexican Government pledges to continue working to guarantee that asylum-seekers in a vulnerable situation, particularly
unaccompanied or separated children, have access to alternatives
to detention while the procedure for status determination takes
place.
5. The Mexican Government will strive to adopt measures for the local integration of those persons who receive complementary protection and will aid them to have access to education and social
security.
6. The Mexican Government pledges to continue to carry out campaigns promoting and defending human rights and condemning
racism, xenophobia and intolerance.
7. The Mexican Government pledges to continue promoting national mechanisms for the determination of the status of stateless
persons.
8. A more coherent and consistent approach at the international
level is needed to meet the protection needs of people displaced
externally owing to sudden-onset disasters. The Mexican Government therefore pledges to cooperate with interested states and
other relevant actors with the aim of obtaining a better understanding of such cross border movements at relevant regional
and sub-regional levels, identifying best practices and developing
consensus on how best to assist and protect the affected people.
