32 Convention between domestic legal norms and the American Convention on Human Rights; indeed the interpretation of such a convention would have made the Court, as the final interpreter. (Emphasis added). 81. The foregoing standard is reflected in the Thesis XI.1º.A.T.47 K, whose rubric and text is:115 CONTROL OF CONFORMITY WITH THE CONVENTION AT THE DOMESTIC LEVEL. MEXICAN TRIBUNALS ARE OBLIGATED TO EXERCISE IT. In the case of human rights, the courts of the Mexican State, as they should not be limited to apply only the local laws, but also the laws of the Constitution, treaties, or international conventions under the jurisprudence of any international court that carry out the interpretation of treaties, agreements, conventions or agreements signed by Mexico; this forces to exercise control of conformity with the Convention among the domestic legal and supranational levels, because it implies abiding by and implementing in their jurisdiction, including the legislative, measures of any order to ensure respect for the rights and guarantees, through policies and laws that guarantee.

MUST BE EXERCISED BY THE JUDGES OF THE MEXICAN STATE IN MATTERS SUBMITTED FOR CONSIDERATION IN ORDER TO VERIFY THAT THE DOMESTIC LAWS DO NOT INFRINGE THE OBJECT AND PURPOSE OF THE AMERICAN CONVENTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has issued standards in the sense that when a State, as in this case Mexico, has ratified an international treaty such as the American Convention on Human Rights, its judges, as part of the State apparatus should ensure that the provisions contained therein are not adversely affected or limited by domestic rules that run counter to its object and purpose, so they must exercise "control of conformity with the Convention" between the rules of law and the Convention itself, taking into account not only the treaty but also the interpretation of it. This becomes important for those organs that are responsible for judicial functions, since they must attempt to remove at any time, practices that tend to deny or define the right of access to justice.
