DuMARS* I. INTRODUCTION The nations of Mexico and the United States are drawn together by numerous economic, political, and historical forces. While our common history as developing nations of the new world is significant and im- migration policies are likewise critical, the most significant force pulling us together is our growing economic interdependence. This economic interdependence is reflected in the extensive changes over the past three years in Mexico's foreign investment laws. These changes cannot be understood in a vacuum. They make sense only in a historical context and with an understanding of the economic forces that have shaped them. This article begins by exploring Mexico's debt crisis and its current economic position in the world economy. This discussion is followed by a review of the history leading up to the current foreign investment laws. These laws are examined in detail, with particular emphasis on the Maquiladora program.

FACETS OF TEXAS LEGAL HISTORY Frances Spears Cloyd* OR three hundred years Spain ruled vast areas in the Western hemisphere. She regarded these colonial possessions as being en- tirely the King's, for his use and benefit. She exploited them for royal profit through a tight trade monopoly and extended her laws into them. Her domination was approaching an end when the Anglo-Ameri- cans began to come into Texas. Moses Austin got permission from the Spanish government to take a colony into Texas in 1821. He died before he was able to complete his project and bequeathed the responsibility to his son, Stephen. In this same year Mexico and Spain were clashing. Iturbide led a pow- erful liberal movement based on unity of all classes, independence under a Bourbon prince with power limited by a constitution, and protection of the Catholic Church. Mexico proclaimed her independence from Spain and proceeded to the drafting of an extremely complex constitution.' It was completed and promulgated in 1824.

Autumn 1999 567 Pregnancy Discrimination in Mexico's Maquiladora System: Mexico's Violation of its Obligations under NAFTA and the NAALC LaurieJ Bremer* I. Introduction. Pregnancy discrimination is a form of sex discrimination based on a woman's preg- nancy status.1 This is considered a form of sex discrimination specifically because it is dis- crimination based on a condition that is unique to women. 2 In Mexico's maquiladora sector several "legally objectionable practices" occur based on pregnancy status: hiring based on pregnancy status, forced resignations, job altering or reassignment, and violations of health and safety laws.3 Pregnancy discrimination is a regular occurrence in Mexico's maquilado- ras, is an invasion of a woman's right to privacy, and can sometimes be an unlawful restraint 4 on a woman's ability to choose the spacing and number of her children.

INTRODUCTION -S2- v .- ~ ""-' ;] .~ ':> During the debate in the U.S. Congress over passage of the ,~rth - American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), a great deal of pUblJ,c :.:;' concern focused on whether the trade agreement provided adequafe protection of workers' rights. In response to these concerns, the united States, Mexico and Canada negotiated side agreements to NAFTA, including the North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation (NAALC). Under the procedures of the NAALC, the three signatories have established National Administrative Offices (NAOs), which are empowered to investigate incidents involving violations of workers' rights among the three countries. This submission to the USNAO concerns labor practices at maquiladoras in Nuevo Laredo owned by Sony Corporation, operating under the name of Magneticos de Mexico (hereinafter "Sony" or MDM"). The submission documents: (l) Sony's persistent violations of workers' rights, particularly in the area of freedom of association; (2) a history of targeting union activists with firings, demotions, surveillance, harassment, and violence; (3) continuing violations of provisions of the Mexican Federal Labor Law that pertain to allowable hours of work; and (4 the Mexican government's persistent failure to enforce applicable Mexican labor laws. Submitters urge the USNAO to: (1) hold public hearings on this matter in Laredo, Texas; (2) conduct an on-site investigation at Sony facilities in Nuevo Laredo; and (3) take steps to assure that Mexico will secure Sony's compliance with Mexican and international law, including reinstatement of workers unjustly dismissed.

D LEENA HEINÄMÄKI PREPARED BY: OMAR SIERRA GUTIÉRREZ 0371182 UNIVERSITY OF LAPLAND FACULTY OF LAW MASTER OF INTERNATIONAL AND COMPARATIVE LAW ARCTIC LAW AND GOVERNANCE 2014 University of Lapland Faculty of Law Title: Protection of the Sacred Lands and Culture of the Wixárika People. Domestic and International Legal Perspective. Author: Omar Sierra Gutiérrez Number of pages: 134 Year: Winter, 2014 Summary: During the last three decades the integral approach between human rights and environment has benefited world´s indigenous peoples´ role within the decision-making process at state level and international law. The evolution and development of international law towards legal personality of indigenous peoples has reinforced and reassured the awareness that for their cultural and environmental protection, their participation at all stages of the decision-making processes regarding their traditional lands and resources is mandatory. The mentioned before can be noted by analyzing the existent connections between the background, objectives and means of implementation, particularly, among the UN Human Rights Committee, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the ILO Convention No. 169, the Rio Summit follow-up activities, the American Convention on Human Rights, the Inter-American Commission and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. In the pursuit of the protection of its cultural heritage and biodiversity, Mexico has shown its compromise by amending its legal framework and ratifying said international human rights standards to protect these places and people that might be compromised by human activities.

VI NOVEMBER, 1932 No. 1 THE MERCANTILE ACT: A STUDY IN MEXICAN LEGAL APPROACHt FREDERICK F. BARKER* AND JOSEPH M. CORMACK** INTRODUCTION In the Latin American republics and in most of the countries of Europe we find a commercial code distinct from the civil code. The first governs mercantile acts, the second civil acts. With the civilian, therefore, the dis­ tinction to he drawn between these t\vo classes of activities is fundamental. In Mexico, the severance of the law of commerce from the main body of private civil law is accentuated by constitutional provisions vesting in the central or federal authority the regulation of all commerce, in the broadest sense of the term. Consequently, a single federal Code of Commerce prevails throughout the Republic. It governs all mercantile activities, both inter- and intra-state. Non-mercantile acts, on the other hand, are governed by the cor­ responding state civil code, or by the Civil Code of the Federal District and Territories.
