Overview

The Revision Resources (Recursos de Revisión) module handles the appeals process when requesters are dissatisfied with the response to their transparency request. This feature allows tracking of the entire review and appeal workflow, from initial filing to final resolution.
Revision Resources are a key part of transparency law compliance. When a requester disagrees with the response to their DAI or ARCO request, they can file a Recurso de Revisión to have their case reviewed by an oversight authority.

​
What is a Recurso de Revisión?

A Recurso de Revisión (Revision Resource or Appeal) is:
  • A formal appeal filed by a transparency request requester
  • Filed when the requester believes their request was improperly handled
  • Reviewed by an independent oversight authority
  • Results in a binding resolution
  • Part of Mexico’s transparency and access to information legal framework
