Their international judicial function includes a basic understanding of a judicial function per se: dispute resolution through the application and interpretation of legal rules by an independent and impartial judicial body. The international character of this work depends on the recourse to international law as a legal basis for the dispute settlement of the particular cases brought to their jurisdiction. Mexican judges are performing an international judicial function when they interpret international law norms and principles, when they guarantee private persons&#8217; rights and duties under international law, and when they assess the conformity of domestic legislation with the international law commitments of the Mexican state. However, at present, Mexican judges are not behaving as ordinary judges of all international law. The place of international law in the Mexican Constitution, the slow democratization of the Mexican presidential regime and the deference of Mexican judges to the executive in foreign affairs help explain the constraints upon the international judicial function as experienced by Mexican judges. The general context of the Mexican political regime impacts the role of the federal judiciary with regards to the promotion of respect for the rule of law, domestically and internationally.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen Los tribunales mexicanos actúan con cada vez más frecuencia como jueces de derecho internacional. Su función judicial internacional incluye el entendimiento genérico de toda función judicial: la resolución de controversias por parte de un órgano judicial independiente e imparcial, a través de la interpretación y aplicación de reglas jurídicas abstractas a casos fácticos concretos. La naturaleza internacional de dicha función depende del recurso al derecho internacional como base legal para el arreglo judicial de los litigios, presentados ante su foro. En este sentido, los tribunales mexicanos ejercen una función judicial internacional cuando interpretan las normas y principios del derecho internacional, cuando protegen derechos que el derecho internacional reconoce en el patrimonio jurídico de los particulares y cuando controlan la conformidad de las normas de derecho interno con los compromisos adquiridos por el Estado Mexicano en virtud del derecho internacional. No obstante, en la actualidad, los jueces mexicanos no actúan como jueces ordinarios de todo el derecho internacional. El lugar que ocupa este ordenamiento normativo en la Constitución de 1917, la lenta democratización del régimen presidencial mexicano y la deferencia de los miembros de la Judicatura Federal hacia el titular del Poder Ejecutivo Federal en asuntos de Política Exterior son importantes limitantes para la función judicial internacional de los tribunales mexicanos. El entorno general del sistema político mexicano ejerce un impacto considerable en la capacidad del Poder Judicial Federal de garantizar el respeto del estado de derecho, interno e internacional.]]></p></abstract>
