Jalisco mayors back Unicef children’s rights initiative
Jalisco has become the first state in Mexico to have almost every municipality sign up to a new initiative sponsored by the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) to advance the rights of children and adolescents.

With the aim of promoting tourism in Jalisco, the state government has paid out over 401 million pesos (30 million dollars) in sponsorship deals since 2009.
Citing various human rights violations, the Permanent People’s Tribunal (PPT) has criticized the Mexican and Jalisco governments over the construction of the Yesca and Zapotillo dams.
