Summary: The Congress of the Union in its LXI Legislature have produced important reforms in the constitution since 2011, Such as a broader protection of human rights, and a explicit recognition of the hierarchy of international treaties, collective interests and reforms in protection law. Another great reform, in as much as it involved reforming and decreeing new laws, came about in 2012 by explicitly introducing that it is everyone’s duty to take care of the environment and that access to water is a fundamental right. These constitutional changes are a turning point in national politics not only in environmental matters, but also in human rights. A water resource is strategic for national security and presents a double challenge: to protect the rights of people and the ecological integrity of the landscape. We praise that our constitution is as avant-garde as 160 years ago when it was promulgated as a Social State (1857), and as 100 years ago, when it guaranteed the values of a State of rights (1917).
