First of all, in the title of a seminar: "Candados y Derechos"
then,
"México ha avanzado mucho en establecer *****candados***** normativos para proteger el derecho de las personas a recibir programas sociales sin condicionamientos"
....
"... no hay *****candado***** más efectivo que la participación ciudadana ..."
Logically, it sounds to me pretty much like some sort of control, but I can find no concrete proof of this in any dictionaries, or in KudoZ (apart from the rather drastic padlock!)
Failing all else, I shall use "control"/ "regulatory controls", as a generalization, but should be grateful if anyone knows of an official translation. Many thanks!

Padlock.
control/ regulatory controls of course, but candado is largely used in Mexico.
As it is, there is no official translation.

I mean, there is no other words used for that, AFAIK. So, direct translation, IMO.

: I looked a bit, and agree that there doesn't seem to be a better translation, but it does sound strange in English...

Just another suggestion. It seems to work in various contexts.
I would never in a million years use "padlock," as no one would have any idea what you're talking about.

| Many thanks! This would definitely have worked in some contexts, but for this I wanted st stronger |
