Plain-English summary
Declares that Congress strongly encourages the Mexican Government to facilitate the presence of foreign human rights observers in Mexico without restrictions that prevent them from effectively carrying out human rights observation. Urges: (1) the Department of State and the U.S. Embassy in Mexico to clarify with Mexican authorities current law concerning such observers, entrance requirements, and restrictions on those observers' activities and movements; (2) the Mexican Government to respect internationally established norms for freedom of transit and of association for foreigners visiting Mexico; and (3) the Mexican Government to review all of the expulsions of human rights workers since 1994 for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and resolution of outstanding cases.
