During an extraordinary session held Tuesday, Mexico’s National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) announced the following changes to the so-called Round 3 upstream bidding processes:
These changes were confirmed by CNH yesterday to accommodate certain requests by Mexico’s Ministry of Energy earlier this month. However, the CNH Rounds (which to date have successfully awarded more than 100 hydrocarbons exploration and extraction contracts (CEEs), including several historic Pemex farmouts) are expected to resume when Mexico’s new administration has the chance to review the bidding processes.
In that respect, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (who just took office on December 1) recently insisted that hydrocarbon activities will continue to be a key component of Mexico’s energy strategy moving forward. According to public statements, new CNH Rounds will be called once production begins in CEEs that have been awarded in prior CNH Rounds. Pemex farmouts however, will continue in parallel.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the Court) recently ruled in Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz & Ors v. Switzerland (Application No. 53600/20) that Switzerland had breached the European Convention of Human Rights (the Convention) by not taking sufficient action against climate change. In particular, it found a breach of the right to respect for private and family life contained in Article 8 of the Convention, based on Switzerland’s failure to mitigate the impact of climate change on the lives, health, well-being and quality of life of its citizens. It also ruled that Switzerland had breached the right to a fair trial in terms of Article 6, in that the domestic courts failed to examine the merits of the applicants’ complaints, including the scientific evidence. In this article we consider the key features of this landmark judgment, which has wide ramifications for Member States of the Convention.
