Asylum in Mexico: A Plural Tradition
Genaro Estrada Félix was Delegate to the League of Nations, succeeded by the United Nations, from 1930 to 1932, ambassador to Spain, and Minister Plenipotentiary to Portugal and Turkey during a period in which the sovereignty of several nations such as Nicaragua, China, Ethiopia, and Czechoslovakia, was threatened by expansionism and the rise of fascism.
Mexico's Foreign Policy: Principle of Non-intervention
The principle of non-intervention essentially consists of:
- The rejection of political, economic and military interference in the internal affairs of nations.
- The rejection of both acknowledgment or repudiation of governments rising to power without Constitution's ratification.
- The rejection of the establishment of alliances between nations and the use of diplomacy to avoid wars, except for wars within the context of self-defense.
- Respect for self-determination, which is the right of every nation to accept, maintain, or replace regulations.
