A report from the Washington Office on Latin America and Peace Brigades International assesses Mexico’s Mechanism to Protect Human Rights Defenders and Journalists. The report draws on a series of case studies to identify several areas for improvement of the Mechanism, including staffing and funding shortages and delays in risk assessments that determine protections for individuals. The report provides recommendations for strengthening the Mechanism to the Mexican government, the governments of Mexico’s 31 states and Federal District, and the U.S. government.
