This article studies the process by which public authorities of Sonora State fulfilled the recommendations issued by the State Commission for Human Rights of Sonora during the period 1992-2012. In this period two ways of appointing an ombudsman are distinguished: firstly, in 1992-2004, when the ombudsmen were appointed by the state governor, and secondly, in 2005-2012, when they were designated by the State Congress. Data show that in the first period public authorities tended to fulfill more recommendations of the “completely fulfilled” type, and in the second period they were mainly “partially fulfilled”. The evidence found revealed that both public authorities and the Commission negotiated politically recommendations, simulating they were completely fulfilled. In the four cases selected of completely fulfilled recommendations the rights of the victims were not fully restored, despite this being the main objective of resolutions.

Palavras-chave : human rights; recommendations on human rights; political negotiations; economic co-optation; political simulation.
