Mexico govt

A report from several Mexican human rights organizations presents recommendations to the United Nations Committee on Enforced Disappearances and requests scrutiny of the situation in Mexico, where at least 23,000 individuals are registered as “enforced disappearances”. The report provides an analysis of the structural failures of the Mexican government in the prevention, investigation, and prosecution of forced disappearances. MacArthur grantees Centro de Derechos Humanos de la Montaña Tlachinollan, Centro de Derechos Humanos de las Mujeres, Fundar, and Centro de Derechos Humanos Miguel Agustín Pro Juárez, collaborated on the report. MacArthur grantees presented the report to the UN Committee in Geneva and accompanied families of the “disappeared” as they testified before the committee.
