**Repairing Damage: A Priority in Human Rights Matters**
Repairing damage remains a significant pending issue in the realm of human rights for the victims associated with the municipality of Tijuana, according to Jorge Álvaro Ochoa Orduño, the president of the Human Rights Commission of Baja California (CEDHBC). Among the urgent matters that demand attention are the conditions of homeless individuals, public sanitation, arbitrary detentions, and acts of torture.
In efforts to address these issues, the CEDHBC has established communication with municipal governments, ensuring an ongoing dialogue with legal advisors in the Tijuana City Council about indemnifications. The institution has also addressed recent recommendations given to the Municipality of Tijuana and the Municipal Police regarding arbitrary detentions and sexual abuse, which they have officially accepted. This acceptance is viewed as progress, with further steps being implemented, including training sessions to prevent such violations in the future.
Ochoa Orduño further stated that outreach efforts have already reached the newly elected municipal governments. Meetings have been conducted with the mayors of Playas de Rosarito, San Quintín, and related discussions with the governments of Tecate, Tijuana, and Mexicali. An invitation has been extended to all newly inaugurated mayors, encouraging cooperation on human rights issues, and the CEDHBC has expressed an open-door policy for continuous dialogue.

Local advocacy groups continue to put pressure on government entities concerning human rights violations in Baja California. Reports indicate growing concern over the lack of adequate security measures by military forces and their involvement in human rights violations. Additionally, the Commission of Public and Citizen Security of Baja California (CCSPBC) highlights instances of service members violating residents’ rights, further emphasizing the need for comprehensive scrutiny and corrective action across all levels of government.
Moreover, in the wake of recent confrontations between protestors and police forces at the state congress, the CEDHBC has opened an investigation, stressing the importance of protecting the right to freedom of expression amidst civil unrest.
On a separate note, economic and administrative areas see ongoing developments. The tourism sector seeks to streamline processes for tourists entering Mexico, while infrastructure projects in Tijuana, including the Morelos Node construction, result in temporary road closures as the city works on strategic urban improvements.
Furthermore, social services receive attention as organizations advocate for better resources for migrant communities and care facilities like Movement 2000 shelter. New policies and collaborations are persistently encouraged to address these social and economic challenges across the region.
