Int'l L. 107 (2010). It reports on Mexico's 2010 modifications to its declarations to the Hague Service Convention.

Most significantly, Mexico is modifying its declaration with respect to alternative methods of service under Article 10 of the Convention to state that Mexico "declares its opposition to the use within its territory of methods of transmission pursuant to Article 10."
