The Mexican Constitution as a cultural Constitution

Mexico has made progress in the creation of a legal framework protecting human rights recognized and guaranteed in its constitutional text, however, it has still been necessary to abolish attitudes of discrimination and cultural assimilation of the indigenous population with the non-indigenous, to avoid the deterioration and disappearance of the cultural richness represented by the indigenous peoples that inhabit the Mexican territory. It is necessary, in addition to elevating to constitutional rank provisions protecting the human rights to culture and the self-determination of peoples, that the State implement multiculturalism as a transversal axis within its state organization in order to reinforce the protection of the Mexican cultural heritage and therefore of the cultural heritage of humanity.
