During his speech at the official ceremony, the permanent representative recognized the OAS as a fundamental multilateral space for respectful dialogue between nations. He highlighted the relevance of the organization as an indispensable platform for the construction of agreements and the promotion of solidarity cooperation between the countries of the hemisphere. In addition, he highlighted Mexico’s historic and unwavering commitment to the pillars of international law and to the peaceful resolution of disputes, guiding principles that will guide its actions within the forum.

The appointment and inauguration of Encinas occur in a complex hemispheric context, where the OAS faces the challenge of reinforcing its relevance and effectiveness. The new ambassador’s experience in positions of high national responsibility positions the Mexican delegation to advocate for a renewed agenda that balances economic development with social justice, human rights and democratic governance. His management is anticipated as a bridge to strengthen diplomatic ties and promote concrete initiatives that translate political dialogue into tangible benefits for the people of the Americas. Mexico’s ability to articulate common positions and mediate delicate discussions will be a crucial asset for the organization’s internal dynamics.

The Mexican representation in the OAS has before it the task of projecting a coherent and constructive voice, aligned with the national interests and the collective objectives of the hemisphere. Encinas’ leadership will be aimed at consolidating alliances, promoting proactive debate and working on the modernization of inter-American cooperation instruments. The success of this diplomatic mission will be measured by its ability to translate the declared principles of inclusion and shared prosperity into frameworks for action and specific work programs within the OAS structure.

Coahuila will create a specialized prosecutor’s office against animal abuse

After cases of cruelty, the government of Coahuila proposes a prosecutor's office to protect animals.

Governor Manolo Jiménez announced that in the coming weeks he will present an initiative to create a prosecutor’s office specialized in crimes against sentient beings. The proposal involves a restructuring of the attorney general’s office to strengthen the institutional response to animal abuse.

Recent cases that drive the measure

In Saltillo, the dog Rocky was dragged through several streets tied to a truck. Its owner, Liliana “N”, was linked to the process. Days later, the Environmental Police rescued another dog that had been buried alive and chained, although the animal died on Sunday night. The state prosecutor’s office is investigating this case to determine responsibilities.

In Torreón, the first administrative fine for animal abuse was applied to a dog in poor health conditions and infested with ticks.

Details of the proposal

According to the Executive, having a specialized body will allow for timely and effective follow-up of these crimes. Jiménez stressed that in Coahuila no one is above the law. The prosecution will focus on investigating, prosecuting and punishing mistreatment of sentient beings, with penalties that can reach up to eight years in prison. The objective is to guarantee animal protection and avoid impunity.
