COMISIÓN DE DERECHOS HUMANOS

What COMISIÓN DE DERECHOS HUMANOS does

The Comisión Estatal de Derechos Humanos de Tlaxcala (CEDH) is a constitutionally mandated public autonomous organism created in 1993 to protect, promote, study, and disseminate human rights in the State of Tlaxcala, Mexico. Its mandate derives from Article 96 of the State Constitution, which grants it institutional autonomy from the executive branch and statutory authority to issue public recommendations to authorities. The commission serves all citizens of Tlaxcala, with explicit programmatic attention to vulnerable populations including women, children, indigenous communities, persons deprived of liberty (PPL), and LGBTTTI+ individuals.

The commission operates through five regional visitadurías plus a second Defensoria office in Zacatelco, and a central office in the state capital. Its service portfolio includes complaint intake and processing, issuance of public recommendations to public authorities, human rights training and education, and accessibility services such as video calls with Mexican Sign Language (LSM) interpretation. Its technological footprint includes an Escuela Virtual for online human rights education, a digital content portal, and LSM video interpretation infrastructure. Specialized advisory bodies include a Consultative Council and a Children's Advisory Council for minors aged 9-12.

As a state-funded entity, the commission operates entirely on public budget allocations; all services — legal advisory, complaint processing, mediation, training, and accessibility services — are provided free of charge. Current leadership is Dra. Jakqueline Ordoñez Brasdefer, who was re-elected in 2025 for the 2025-2029 term and renewed the Consultative Council. In 2026 the commission signed collaboration agreements with the Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación (SCJN), joined the Federación Mexicana de Organismos Públicos de Derechos Humanos (FMOPDH) Zona Este, executed a convenio with the Universidad Politécnica de Tlaxcala (UPET) for a journalism prize, and signed an archive-compliance convenio with the Archivo General del Estado de Tlaxcala (AGHET).
