En particular, explica el cambio entre una posición inicial que favorecía de manera entusiasta el reconocimiento y la protección internacional de los derechos humanos a otra que se opuso firmemente a la idea de crear instrumentos jurídicamente vinculantes y una maquinaria internacional de aplicación de las normas. Las razones del cambio de postura han sido poco exploradas en la literatura sobre la historia diplomática de México. El artículo llena tal vacío con base en la revisión de un conjunto variado de fuentes primarias y situando las posiciones de México en el contexto intelectual y geopolítico de la época.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: The objective of this article is to examine Mexico&#8217;s participation in the creation of the Inter-American and universal human rights regimes between 1944 and 1948. In particular, it explains the shift from an initial position that enthusiastically favored international recognition and protection of human rights to one that strongly opposed the idea of creating legally binding instruments and an international enforcement machinery. The reasons for the change of position have been little explored in the literature on Mexico&#8217;s diplomatic history. The article fills this gap by reviewing a diverse set of primary sources and situating Mexico&#8217;s positions in the intellectual and geopolitical context of the time.]]></p></abstract>
