The office in Mexico was established in 2002 as part of a technical cooperation agreement with the Government. Since the office was established, the Government has shown greater political will towards implementing the observations and recommendations of international human rights mechanisms within both the universal and the regional systems. The Government has extended a standing invitation to special procedures. Most recently, the Special Rapporteur on violence against women visited the country in 2005 and the Special Rapporteur on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography visited in 2007. Some actions have been taken to guarantee and protect human rights, such as the elimination of the death penalty.
