Criminal Justice and Alternatives to Incarceration (ATI) · 4.1 Proportionality in Prosecution

Partially meets the criterion.

Mexico has a legal and institutional amnesty mechanism applicable to certain cases related to drug offences. The Amnesty Law establishes specific eligibility requirements, while the Ministry of Interior documents administrative procedures and the existence of a Commission responsible for reviewing applications.

However, the available evidence does not demonstrate a broad, automatic, or verifiable system for reviewing non-violent drug sentences. The existing mechanism is limited by legal requirements, jurisdiction, and eligibility criteria, and the reviewed sources do not establish national coverage, consolidated numbers of reviewed cases, homogeneous outcomes, or generalized sentence review. Therefore, the criterion is partially met: a limited amnesty and administrative review mechanism exists, but evidence of broad and systematic review of non-violent drug sentences remains missing.
