The investigation of current cases of human rights violations. Construction of a methodology from the academic perspective,

Abstract

The investigation of current cases of human rights violations and the construction of a methodology for this purpose from the academic perspective, modifies the theoretical vision that traditionally faces the teaching-learning of human rights in Mexico, based fundamentally on the study, analysis and dissemination of content and not in objective practice.
To promote an innovative academic program of this nature, means to involve the student in the field of a complex practice in order to construct a "final project" which will make it obtain the degree; this implies the accompaniment of the victim, the implementation of a defense strategy to repair negative effects caused by the excess in the activity of the State, to seek reparation of the damage, if necessary, to ensure the non-repetition of the act and the sanction to the public servants involved.
This article presents the experience of a postgraduate program in the area of advocacy, which explores from the academic perspective the reality faced by human rights in Mexico and the complexity of its protection, as well as the articulation of an innovative methodological tool constructed from the context analysis, which guides the work of students and teachers towards the implementation of better defense strategies.
