National regulatory frameworks

The Political Constitution of the United Mexican States guarantees in its Articles 6 and 7 the freedom of expression.
In a similar vein, the General Law of Culture and Cultural Rights establishes the principles of respect for creative freedom and cultural manifestations; equality of cultures; recognition of the country's cultural diversity; recognition of people's identity and dignity; self-determination and autonomy of indigenous peoples and their communities; and gender equality.
Likewise, the Regulation of the General Law on Culture and Cultural Rights stipulates the respect for freedom of creation based on the respect, protection and promotion of human rights.
The Regulation also recognizes that freedom of expression includes artistic expression, freedom of opinion and information, respect for cultural diversity, and the right to receive free and plural information that contributes to the full, free and complete development of cultural identity and cultural diversity.
