Seventh National Forum on Security and Justice Criminal Justice Reform with One Year Remaining: What Remains to Be Done and

Who Is Responsible? The Seventh National Forum on the New Criminal Justice System (NCJS) supported by USAID and organized in collaboration with civil society organizations and the Technical Secretariat of the Criminal Justice Implementation Commission (SETEC, acronym in Spanish) took place on May 20-21, 2015 in Mexico City. The Forum brought together over 1,700 participants from across the country, including key public sector actors involved in the implementation of the new system. Over the course of this two-day event, Forum participants discussed best practices learned from the implementation of the system so far and debated on what remains to be done to fully bring the new system into force. Participants in the Forum articulated nine conclusions on required actions for successful NCJS implementation. Mexico’s President, Enrique Peña Nieto, launched the Forum, stressing that, “in synthesis, we have made the operation of the reform a reality. It depends on the efforts of each state and institutions to take full responsibility to implement it”. He also commended civil society organizations for

being the engine of this change.

As in previous years, the Seventh Forum proved to be an important platform for the exchange of ideas on the process of implementing the NCJS. Topics were discussed through three conferences, nine round tables and two simulations. The Forum this year was particularly significant given that 2016 is the deadline for the adoption of the reform nationwide. The Forum was made possible by USAID assistance, including logistical support for the set-up of the venue, sponsorship of keynote speakers, agenda design and

facilitation of consensus building among involved stakeholders. USAID contributed approximately $85,000 USD to facilitate the success of this key event.

Over 50 print, online and broadcast media outlets covered the event. The Forum was also streamed for the public.1

Bringing the Reform into Life in the National Forum: Simulation of a Crime Scene Investigation and Restorative Processes under the Accusatory System

Close coordination between the police and prosecutors is a key feature of the accusatory system. In the Forum, this was simulated through a mock crime scene police investigation. Some of the key features of the new system include effective information exchange between the police and prosecutors, proper crime scene preservation for the documentation and analysis of evidence, and meetings between the police and prosecutors to exchange information on criminal cases and to devise action plans for each party. Protocols for coordination and communication between

police and prosecutors under the NCJS have resulted in more efficient processes of investigation and case resolution.

The accusatory system also emphasizes the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms to allow for the efficient resolution of less serious crimes to avoid backlog of cases. ADR mechanisms were promoted in the Forum through a mock session on restorative justice. The session highlighted the importance placed on the victim, and the participation of everyone affected: the victim, the aggressor and the community. Nancy Flemming Tello, academic and one of the session panelists, emphasized the important role of alternative justice in the new criminal justice system: “we live in a historical moment in which restorative justice is a reality. We have models that have proved successful in the last decade. However, there is still more to be done” referring, for example, to the need to develop performance standards for personnel working in this area. She stressed that “alternative justice mechanisms are a fundamental pillar of the criminal justice reform.”

President Enrique Peña Nieto Launches the Seventh National Forum on Criminal Justice System Reform

In his address at the Seventh Forum, President Peña Nieto renewed his commitment to the successful transition of Mexico’s criminal justice system in order to deliver “prompt and expedited justice” to the Mexican people. He called all involved parties into action to ensure the successful implementation of the new system in order to achieve this objective. President Peña also emphasized the importance of continued support from justice institutions, training of police and ministries, further dialogue in Congress to ensure the passing of pending legislation, and the identification of indicators to measure progress of the reform as some of the key aspects going forward.

Other key speakers shared similar sentiments in the opening ceremony. Alejandro Marti Garcia, President of Mexico SOS, noted that “we should not think that in June 2016 the reform will be achieved, it entails a cultural change… June 2016 marks the beginning, not the end; there is much to be done.” He also stressed the importance of investing time and resources needed to ensure that the reform is a success. Dr. Miguel Carbonell Sanchez, Researcher from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM, acronym in Spanish), reminded participants that the reform is a concerted effort that involves all Mexican citizens and that its success depends on cooperation. He coincided that capacity building is a key element to support the transformation to the accusatory system and called for the identification and application of best practices learned from implementation thus far.. Representing the Federal Attorney General’s (AG) Office, AG Arely Gómez Gonzalez, outlined the status of reform implementation in each state. She voiced her confidence that “we are ready to meet the June 2016 deadline to transition to the accusatory system.”

Roundtable 1: A Police Force up to the Standards of the Accusatory System

The first panel kicked off the Forum with a topic that was to become a recurrent theme throughout the event: building the capacity of the police force as a necessary action to ensure the success of the reform. The central role played by the police was summarized by Dr. Maria Elena Morera de Galindo, President of Causa en Comun: “The foundation of the reform is the police force, as it represents the entry-point of citizens to the criminal justice system.” Participants also

Image 3: Participants in Roundtable 1


discussed the need to establish protocols and regulations that unify the investigation functions of the police; establish better work conditions for police (work hours, incentives, salary, training, etc.); and unify police authority and oversight to enhance accountability.

Roundtable 2: Investigation, Intelligence and Expert Equipment as a Fundamental Base of the New System

The success of the reform also depends on the quality of criminal investigation. The debate in this roundtable focused on the importance of the investigation process and the need to implement sophisticated investigation tools to improve evidence collection. During the discussion, participants highlighted the following required actions to improve criminal investigations in the NCJS: i) invest in investigation and communication training to build the capacity of the police to manage crime scenes and share reports with prosecutors; ii) develop investigation protocols which are standardized at the national level; and iii) ensure that police are provided with the necessary equipment and infrastructure to conduct a thorough investigation. In sum, financial and human resources as well

as appropriate equipment are needed to ensure the quality of investigations. As stated by panel moderator Jorge Emilio Iruegas Alvarez: “To achieve a successful investigation, the quality of human and material resources is equally important.”

Roundtable 3: Victim Protection in the Criminal Justice Process and Access to Justice by Citizens

This panel reinforced the importance of protecting victims and the gap that exists currently between this intent and its operationalization. The experience accumulated by the Women’s Justice Center of Oaxaca was showcased, one of 22 centers operating in Mexico, which offers an integrated package of assistance to women victims, including legal, medical and psychological support. Among other topics discussed were: i) harmonizing legislation for victims between the state and federal level; ii) establishing a specific model for quality legal representation of victims; and iii) ensuring that public policy accompanies the correct implementation of victim protection legislation.

Roundtable 4: How much will it cost and who will pay for the Reform?

In this panel participants discussed how successful NCJS implementation depends on the availability of funds from federal, state, municipal and international sources that provide support to the transition to the accusatory system. Participants emphasized that Durango, despite having a relatively low budget, became the first state in which the NCJS is operating at both the state and federal level by efficiently investing in installations and trainings of justice

officials. Participants discussed that by standardizing prices, the reform will cost approximately 29





billion pesos. These funds will come from the Mexican Government’s National Works and Public Services Bank (BANOBRAS, acronym in Spanish), the Public Security Fund (FASP, acronym in Spanish), and the trust fund Fedeicomiso, among other financiers.

Roundtable 5: Professional Defense - Lawyers and Universities in the Accusatory System

This panel exposed a challenge facing the new system: the apparent lack of quality control and standardization of law schools across Mexico. The model of focusing on theory was debated at length and the clinical model of teaching law showcased by the Autonomous Technical Institute of Mexico (ITAM, acronym in Spanish) as a possible alternative to ensure lawyers leave law school with the experience needed to enter the labor force without having to rely solely on practice acquired in part-time

jobs during the time in school. Thus it was suggested that the incorporation of clinical teaching as mandatory in law schools, as well as the

regularization and certification of law schools to ensure standardization would be effective solutions. Further, the creation of model schools that operate and teach the accusatory system was suggested as a good practice and point of reference for other schools. In this same vein, Bar Associations could serve as watchdogs to ensure the quality control of the law profession, for both technical and ethical aspects. In parallel, there is an effort to develop Inter-American standards for effective, independent criminal defense. Roundtable 6: Alternatives Solutions to Oral Trials

This panel discussed the experience to date on the implementation of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms under the criminal justice reform. It was emphasized that these mechanisms are part of the criminal system and that to be effective, they need to be guided by standard operating procedures and protocols, and count with qualified professionals. Guidelines for the certification of personnel to serve in Alternative Justice Centers are expected to be approved in June 2015. Other themes highlighted include: i) the importance of ensuring continued capacity building and incentives for personnel in these centers; and ii) the need to put in place mechanisms to ensure follow up and compliance by offenders of the agreements that form part of alternative resolutions.

Roundtable 7: Oral Trials

There seems to be a consensus that oral trials are a central part of criminal proceedings in the accusatory system. Nonetheless, “there is a clear risk to the defendant, and many times the accused does not want to face an oral trial.” This was one of many highly debatable positions discussed by this panel. Other topics brought to the table included: i) the possibility of allowing private trials for sensitive cases; ii) the suggestion to create a law for organized crime to apply to all states, thus ensuring a consistent approach; and iii) the need to increase human and financial




resources to Public Defenders’ Offices to ensure they can better attend to the growing demand for these services. On this note, Dr. Gonzalo Reyes Salas, Director of the Institute for Public Defense of Nuevo Leon, stressed that “without defense there is no justice, and without justice there is no democracy.” The lessons learned from recent cases that resulted in acquittals were also the topic of much debate, in particular as they relate to ensuring resources are available for robust victim and witness protection. Oral trials replace the paper-based trials that characterized the traditional system and “are spaces to build shared values.”

Roundtable 8: The Judiciary and the Criminal Reform

The successful models adopted in Guanajuato, Nuevo Leon and Chihuahua were shared in this panel. Guanajuato has achieved a decrease in hearings to 4.5 a day per judge on average, and this was attained not by spending more resources but by better utilizing time and human resources, among other factors. Similarly, Nuevo Leon has put in place a system of processes focused on the quality and efficacy of the services provided and has increased the number of hearings per month to 110 from 38 in the traditional system. This was achieved by training judges in the new system, investing in information technology infrastructure and improving case management, among other aspects. Chihuahua is another success story with similar results achieved. The pivotal role of the judge in sentencing in the accusatory system, and the importance to separate judges’ responsibilities from administrative matters were other key topics of discussion. In this sense, it was stressed that judges do not lose authority in the accusatory system, but rather gain more time to do their central job, which is to preside over and make impartial decisions on cases.

Roundtable 9: Which laws are missing to complete the criminal justice reform?

While it is true that there are laws that still need to be put in place, others need amendments to conform to the elements of the accusatory system, the sole approval of laws will not guarantee the operationalization of the new system. It was noted that conducting an analysis of all that is missing in terms of laws as well as the amendments needed to existing legislation would be helpful in this last push to meet

the 2016 deadline of country-wide implementation of the new system.

Forum Conclusions

The Seventh National Forum culminated on nine conclusions presented by Ernesto Canales Santos, President of the Renace Institute, during the closing ceremony. These are:

1. There is an urgent need to create a unified and professionalized police force as a pillar of the criminal justice reform. This calls for standardized protocols, adequate tools and resources, consistent salary rates across the country and established work hours to improve the performance and quality of life of police. Congress must be urged to pass legislation promoting these initiatives to improve working conditions and promote a new model for Mexico’s police force.

2. There currently exist flaws in the forensic investigation of crimes under the new system. This presents a risk to public security in that serious crimes go unpunished and for this reason it is imperative that state Attorney General’s Offices are obligated to enhance the quality of criminal investigations. This calls for an improvement in criminal justice infrastructure, professionalization of justice operators, regulations within the sector, and clear, transparent methodologies as the basis of investigation to effectively combat crime.

3. Judges, magistrates and ministers of both the Federal Judiciary as well as state institutions must shift the scope of their responsibility in the administration of the criminal justice system. The new system incorporates greater powers to judges, for example. This shift includes greater responsibility for the quality of criminal justice in Mexico to respond to society’s demands for justice.

4. Victims of crimes must be a central focus of criminal justice proceedings. Lawyers specializing in the defense of victims’ rights are a necessary part of the justice process. Restorative justice that serve both as reparation to victims as well as a method of social re-integration of former offenders should be implemented to improve the quality of criminal justice.

5. Alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, including mediation, are essential part of the criminal justice reform. Alternative solutions not only contribute to de-pressurizing the justice system, but they also enable true and lasting conflict resolution. The priority must be to train all justice actors in the correct implementation of the new system and not permit improvisation or inconsistency. To this end, it should be required that justice operators fulfill a specialized profile and that justice institutions provide job stability, a professional career path and tools for to allow them to do their work.

6. Given the lack of consistency in quality across law schools, compulsory licensing is necessary for the successful implementation of the criminal justice reform by ensuring quality control over training in litigation and legal ethics. It is also necessary that all curricula for university classes and clinical teaching reflect the new criminal justice system. It is important to consider that private lawyers in particular display a lack of adequate training, requiring the establishment of standards for effective criminal defense.

7. The Principle of Contradiction is necessary in oral trials as a means to arrive at the truth and have fair resolutions. However, it is also essential to use alternative justice solutions to reduce the amount of oral trials necessary. To ensure the participation of all parties, it is necessary to have a system of protection for witnesses and victims that includes assistance by well-trained and proactive legal advisors and justice officials.

8. The approval of pending legislation is essential for the full implementation of the criminal justice system across the country. This is particularly true for the National Execution of Sanctions Law and National Juvenile Justice law, which not only face the challenge of standardizing a wide variety processes and principles, but also of complying with international human rights standards that will contribute to a new model of justice relevant to the needs of the country.


9. Last but not least, the participation of the President of Mexico in the Seventh Forum provides enormous support for the conversion of the reform efforts into reality. During his opening speech, he conveyed a clear personal commitment to the reform so that the country will be adequately prepared to fully implement the new criminal justice system by 2016.

In conclusion, the Forum served to underline the importance of civil society participation in improving the quality of criminal justice in the country. Society and government working side by side toward a shared objective to achieve the transformation of the justice system as an element of public security and criminal justice. The Forum is an example of what can be achieved when there is the space and goodwill to work together.

The Forum ended on a high note and benefited from the reflections of a number of inspirational speakers in its closing ceremony whose words reverberated in one single note with that of others who spoke before them in this two-day event: that of arriving at a criminal justice system capable of delivering fair and impartial justice to the Mexican people. This ultimate goal is beautifully captured in the words of Dr. Sergio Garcia Ramirez, Investigator (retired) Professor at UNAM’s Institute of Legal Investigation:

“We have talked about creating and strengthening paradigms. There is no more noble cause than to change paradigms to break with inertias such as impunity, corruption and incompetence... We need to have a criminal justice system proper of a democratic society.”
