Human Rights as fundamental tools against against corruption

Abstract

The article provides elements on the relationship between the fight against corruption and human rights, using the importance that these fundamental prerogatives have acquired in contemporary constitutional and conventional systems, with emphasis on the Mexican case, but with a global epistemological projection. It is important to point out that the proposed relationship is not yet clear, nor has it been exhaustively developed in the academic literature, much less in legal and administrative practice. In this order of ideas, the work establishes elements that we believe are fundamental and coincidental in the fight against corruption and respect for human rights and that specifically have to do with the starting point in public ethics, international conventions against corruption, the role of non-jurisdictional human rights organizations, the design of the public budget, as well as the importance of the jurisprudential criteria issued by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
