Which mechanism has Mexico implemented to address corruption in public institutions?

• A. Anti-corruption laws and oversight mechanisms
• B. Expanding reliance on private sector self-regulation without public oversight
• C. Eliminating independent agencies
• D. Relying solely on international intervention

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is how Mexico has addressed corruption through formal accountability mechanisms. Mexico has implemented anti-corruption laws and oversight structures designed to prevent, detect, and sanction improper conduct in public institutions. Key steps include creating a National Anti-Corruption System that coordinates efforts across federal, state, and municipal levels, and enacting the General Law of Administrative Responsibility to establish clear standards, investigations, and penalties for public officials. These measures bring public oversight and legal accountability to governance, rather than relying on private self-regulation, dismantling independent agencies, or depending solely on international intervention.
