The Mexican Supreme Court is debating on restricting the public’s access to Mexico City’s sex-offender registry.
Some justices argue the registry violates the human rights of the listed individuals.
This week, members of Mexico’s Supreme Court argued on the issue with eight justices siding in favor of restricting access. The justices claim the registry violates the rights of sentenced individuals, generates a stigma, and impairs their reinsertion into society, Mexico’sThe registry includes individuals convicted of femicide, rape, sexual abuse, sexual harassment, child abuse, sex trafficking, and sexual tourism.
During this week’s hearing, Supreme Court Chief Justice Norma Lucia Pina Hernandez said that while the registry is a great tool for the government in investigating sexual crimes and identifying offenders, making it public forever brands the convicts as sexual offenders in society, thus creating a double sentence,Minister Arturo Zaldivar opposed the view claiming that public access to the registry was constitutional and valid.
