This speech, as the Undersecretary for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights before the Human Rights Council said last march 8 “pretend to crimi- nalize people in migration con- text, and encourage racism and xenophobia”. This also took part in a moment in which the UN sta- te members will adopt a global agreement on migration in 2018. In this sense, the CNDH su- pported the undertaken actions that favor the people who is in a migratory situation, and reaffir- med its commitment with indi- vidual’s dignity defense. It also remembered that among the as- sumed actions that would take into account, according to the content consulted between the CNDH and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, they will be in coordina- tion with it and from their respec- tive competence scopes. This will tend to revert the increasing da- maging situation faced by Mexi- can migrants in the United States, for what they will raise their voi- ces ever more loudly in order to reject the serious risk that entails the speech of hate against tho- se persons and that is appearing with more frequency. In this regard, this National Organism underlines that it has intensified its tasks linked with the Mexican consular network located in the United States and that favors Mexican people in mi- gration context. The above aims to protect their human rights, and for them to be enforceable in the United States. This will also help to prevent that people who is on a migratory situation should not be victim of discriminatory, homo- phobic or xenophobic acts. The global agreement on mi- gration, will initiate this month a consultation process, and will be followed by a balance phase. The text will be agreed between February and July of 2018 and will be called “Global Compact for a secure, regular and order- ly migration”. It should be ac- companied by an International Agreement on refugees, looking forward for the member states to make more explicit commitments for their protection. The CNDH participated at the panel “Factors that contribute to the climate of violence”, in the context of the 30th General As- sembly of Global Alliance of the National Human Rights Insti- tutions (GANHRI), held in Ge- neva, Switzerland. In this event, it highlighted that the major risk that the national institutions and organisms on human rights de- fense face, is the resurgence of the speech of hate that puts in risk the human dignity and the human rights. In this sense, the CNDH commented that it has pu- blished a public opinion web site: migrantes.cndh.org.mx where anyone can find information and orientation and our conational could be orientated so they can protect their human rights. It fi- nally underlined that in this area, the National Human Rights Ins- titutions also play an important role to achieve the Global Com- pact objectives. http://www.cndh.org.mx/sites/all/doc/Co- municados/2017/Com_2017_109.pdf The voice of the President New Age, No. 290 INDEX  4 New Age, No. 290 Event of the month THE CNDH, CIVIL ORGANIZATIONS AS WELL AS THE FEDERAL, STATE AND MUNICIPAL AUTHORITIES AGREED TO STRENGHTEN THE VIGILANCE AT THE COATZACOALCOS- ACAYUCAN CORRIDOR, IN ORDER TO PREVENT KIDNAPKING AND ATTACKS AGAINST MIGRANTS April 17th, 2017 The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH), civil organizations, as well as federal, state and muni- cipal authorities agreed to strengthen the vigilance at the Coatzacoalcos-Acayucan by the Public Security authorities.

The purpose of the hearing was to expose before the regional court the different approaches contained in the written amicus curiae that was presented the last January 19, 2017. The document was discussed in the context of the advisory opinion approach reques- ted by the Colombian Republic in March 14, 2016, and under the 57th Extraordinary Period Sessions of the Inter-American Court that was celebrated in Guatemala City from March 20 to March 25 of 2017. In the appeal made by the Colombian State, which requested to the American Court the clarification of the prevailing relation between the establishment of regimes of the environmental protection within transnational scope (mainly as regards marine environment) and the enjoyment and enforcement of hu- man rights, as well as the exercise to life and personal integrity. The Colombian state also demanded to the court to stablish other issues as the Pact of San José jurisdiction within these regimens, as the con- ditions that the environmental impact studies must accomplished inside the aforementioned protection areas, in order to protect the above pointed out human rights. The CNDH highlighted that the Inter-American Court of Human Rights needs to recognize the envi- ronment protection and to ensure that this topic corresponds by itself a human rights matter. http://www.cndh.org.mx/sites/all/doc/Comunicados/2017/Com_2017_096.pdf INDEX  6 New Age, No. 290 Press Releases THE CNDH CALLS UPON SOCIETY AND AUTHORITIES TO BRAKE THE BARRIERS THAT LIMITS THE INTEGRATION OF PEOPLE WITH AUTISM April 2nd, 2017 DGC/098/17 April 2nd: “World Autism Awareness Day” Worldwide, people with autism face serious barriers. The mainly barriers they face are because of attitudes, but they are so many such as: not finding a timely diagnosis, limited opportunities, appropriate medicines, education of quality, care services for their effective integration, as free open and accessible work. According to data published by different inter- national studies, more than 80% of the adults that suffers autism does not have access to employ- ment. According with data pu- blished by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography, in Mexico there are approximately 46,000 people that live with au- tism. For that reason in December 18 of 2007, the United Nations General Assembly approved unanimously the Resolution A/ RES/62/139 in order to celebrate each April 2 the World Autism Awareness Day. This day has as commitment to raise awareness upon the need to adopt measures in order for girl, boys, youngsters and adults with autism to access better opportunities and to an au- tonomous and independent life with their community. In this context, the National Human Rights Commission calls authorities of different govern- ment levels, likewise society toge- ther, to transcend to a medical-re- habilitation focus-aiming people with autism in Mexico to get ac- cess to appropriate and a suffi- cient support system, in order to ensure equal opportunities of all kind, with absolute compliance and respect to their human rights. http://www.cndh.org.mx/sites/all/doc/Co- municados/2017/Com_2017_098.pdf INDEX  7 New Age, No. 290 Press Releases THE CNDH WARNS UPON THE SPEECH OF HATE THAT IS ARISING, MAINLY IN THE UNITED STATES, DEGRADES, INTIMATES, PROMOTES THE PREJUDICE AND INCITES TO VIOLENCE DGC/105/17 April 7th, 2017 The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) warns about the seriousness upon the speech of hate that is arising - after two worldwide wars and a shameless genocide occurred du- ring the XXI century. The speech is arising with renewal rhetoric and humiliates, intimidates, pro- motes prejudices and encourages to violence against people and groups, not only because of race but also for economic and sexual preferences, for cultural differen- ces based on nationality, social and economic condition as sexual preferences or religious beliefs. To this National Organism, the actual hatred transgressor speech is worst with the groups, which are in the most vulnerable situation such as migrants and refugees. The aforementioned is because there are cases, from the highest power spheres, in which an extreme violent rejection against them has been promoted, such as occurs in the United Sta- tes of America, where intrinsic dignity and equal and inaliena- ble rights recognition have been put in risk. In occasion of the commemo- ration of the International Day of Reflection on the Genocide in Rwanda –April 7- the CNDH hi- ghlights that from a human rights perspective, we all have learned that prejudice brings discrimi- nation. He also have learned that discrimination leads to prosecu- tion and it to extermination. For this reason, we cannot go back to the past, nor must we allow the hatred speech to gain ground, based upon new migratory po- licies and a supposed exercise of freedom or public liberties. http://www.cndh.org.mx/sites/all/doc/Co- municados/2017/Com_2017_105.pdf THE CNDH WARNS UPON THE NEED TO INDENTIFY AND RECOGNIZE DEPRESSION AS AN OCCUPATIONAL DISABILITY CAUSE IN THE WORLD DGC/106/17 April 7, 2017 The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) points out that the State´s responsibility to ensure, respect and protect the right to health includes the essen- tial international standards and that it is interrelated with availa- bility, accessibility, acceptability and quality in order to provide a physical mental and social we- llbeing, and not only the absence of disease or illness. In occasion of the World Day Health-April 7-, we are all cele- brating the measurements to at- tend the depression, which is the first cause of occupational disa- bility in the world- according to the World Health Organization (OMS). In Mexico, it affects al- most 10 million of people, fifth of those develop chronic stages that without treatment could derive into self-destruction, addictions and suicide. According to the national epi- demiological survey, Mexico is one of the countries with the ma- jor prevalence of clinical patients reported. Our health laws and policies are insufficient to detect it in time and to diagnose appro- priately the population affected by it. This National Commission likewise warns upon de need to identify and recognize depres- sion as a factor that motivates oc- cupational disability. http://www.cndh.org.mx/sites/all/doc/Co- municados/2017/Com_2017_106.pdf INDEX  8 New Age, No. 290 Press Releases Responsible Authorites Issue Recommendation State Government of Michoacán About the impugnation appeal of R. against the non- accompli- shment of the Recommendation issued by the Human Rights Com- mission State of Michoacán, regar- ding to an issue of violence acts at a school in detriment to V.

IT CALLS TO PRESERVE THE ECOLOGICAL BALANCE DGC/125/17 April 22, 2017 The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) expresses its worrisome upon the irreversi- ble exhaustion of Earth’s ecosys- tems and the climate change several effects, because of the des- tructive practices, such as: illegal logging, environmental resources irrational and wrongful use, as well as the emission of pollution in bodies of water and in the at- mosphere. Thus, and in comme- moration of the International Day of Mother Earth- April 22-, the CNDH highlights the importance on the environmental education as a mean for promoting the care and preservation of the ecological balance, and for the consolidation of the culture of human rights respect. To this National Organism, the natural resources of the planet have a close link with the enjoy- ment and enforcement of human rights. Nature provides people of feeding, medicines, water and the indispensable resources for living with dignity; thus, its detriment puts in risk some human rights such as to water and to a health- ful environment. The actions made to remedia- te the climate change´s effects, as well as the oceans’ conservation and sustainable use, the land re- sources’ protection and reesta- blishment, constitute three out of the sixteen objectives of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agen- da. The SDA is a project that con- vene the efforts of all nations in favor for human rights, the planet and for prosperity. http://www.cndh.org.mx/sites/all/doc/Co- municados/2017/Com_2017_125.pdf INDEX  9 New Age, No. 290 Recommendations Responsible Authorites Issue Recommendation President of Puebla´s Human Rights Commission About the complaint appeal pro- moted by Q2 because of the delay and inactivity of Puebla´s Human Rights Commission.

BINDING: SOFT COVER EDITORIAL: LA HUERTA GRANDE LANGUAGE: SPANISH ISBN: 9788494659751 This book gathers memories and writes of a painful phase. The author of the book was victim of a Deep depression: “Our time disease”, ac- cording to psychiatrist Luis Rojas Marcos; something has to make us feel fear, I think, because, in all eras, it has haunted to the most sensible people. From the first depression I came out with lecture, I must say that at the second occasion it was helpful to write. To narrate my sensations and to remember the lived pleasant moments, little by little brought me to reality. You never know the reach of your own words; to whom they will reach and in which moment; if they left a wealth or slip as water over the rock. I supposed no one could be bother by this kind of relief, and with that confidence, I have written this book, further away from a frivolous relief or of an indecent selfishness. https://cancioneroderomances.com/2017/03/08/presentacion-del-libro-memo- rias-de-una-depresion/ https://www.casadellibro.com/ libro-memorias-de-una-depre- sion/9788494659751/5009013 Book of the month New Age, No. 290 The cities that will suffer the major damages because of the rise of the sea level by 2050 Researches of the Basque Centre for Climate Chan- ge (BC3), insisted to take urgent action before the risks of flooding because of the rise of the sea level, caused by extreme climates phenomena in 120 big coastal cities of Southeast Asia, United States west coast and Oriental Africa between 2030 and 2100.
