Military arrest, human rights and the new latin american constitutionalism

Abstract

This paper seeks to demonstrate that military discipline can be maintained as 
long as it is in light of the human rights recognized in the Political Constitution of 
the United Mexican States and international treaties; For this purpose, legal and 
juridical texts are analyzed to establish the scope of the legal norms applicable to 
arrest in the military environment, its relationship with international instruments 
that protect human rights and the vision of Latin American constitutionalism as a 
trend related to the exercise of power. The above allows us to establish that mili
tary discipline can be compatible with the human rights protected by the funda
mental norm of the State and consolidate the new democratic constitutionalism.
