description This article argues that the application of state protection policies and mechanisms have not been sufficient to stop impunity, aggressions and murders of journalists in Mexico between 2000 and 2022. This paper reviews reports published by the organization Article 19 Mexico and Central America, Reporters without Borders, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and press articles; in addition, key actors answered questions from semi-structured interviews. The ineffectiveness of these policies and mechanisms is due, in part, to the confluence of state agents (armed forces, public officials) and non-state agents (political parties, organized crime) that exercise violence and aggression against journalists, which deepens the impunity and ineffectiveness of the policies. Mechanisms such as the “Hand in Hand” project, sponsored by the European Parliament, are a possibility to exercise international pressure jointly with civil society, although, at the moment, its scope is not quantifiable.

Se revisan algunos informes publicados por la organización Article 19 México y Centroamérica, Reporteros sin Fronteras, la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos y artículos de prensa; se realizan entrevistas semiestructuradas a actores claves. La poca efectividad de estas políticas se debe, en parte, por la confluencia de agentes estatales (fuerzas armadas, funcionarios públicos) y no estatales (partidos políticos, crimen organizado) que ejercen violencia y agresión sobre periodistas, lo cual profundiza la impunidad y poca efectividad de las políticas. Mecanismos como el proyecto “De la mano”, auspiciado por el Parlamento Europeo, son una posibilidad para ejercer presión internacional de manera conjunta con la sociedad civil, cuyos alcances no son cuantificables al momento.  Instituto de Altos Estudios Nacionales IAEN 2023-01-15 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículos evaluados por doble pares ciegos application/pdf text/html application/epub+zip https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/294 10.37228/estado_comunes.v1.n16.2023.294 Estado & comunes; Vol. 1 No. 16 (2023): Climate change: public policies and climate action in Latin America; 161-180 Estado & comunes; Vol. 1 Núm. 16 (2023): Cambio climático: políticas públicas y acción climática en América Latina; 161-180 2477-9245 1390-8081 10.37228/estado_comunes.v1.n16.2023 spa https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/294/516 https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/294/517 https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/294/518 Derechos de autor 2023 María Neus Pons Carrera , Alexis Berg-Rodríguez https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0
