The IACHR (Inter-American Commission on Human Rights) and the UN agree on the crisis of disappearances in Mexico, according to civil society organizations; they are calling for working groups with international organizations.

More Information: Organizations of family members of disappeared persons and human rights defenders stated that the recent report from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) and the decision of the UN Committee against Enforced Disappearances (CED) converge on the same diagnosis: Mexico faces a humanitarian crisis of widespread disappearances, with structural impunity and state responsibility through action or omission. In a statement, the groups and activists pointed out that both international organizations agree that disappearances in the country cannot be reduced to common crimes, as there is evidence of the participation, support, or acquiescence of authorities at various levels of government. They recalled that the IACHR report documents more than 128,000 missing and unidentified persons, as well as more than 70,000 unidentified bodies held under state custody. Furthermore, the inter-American organization warns that in various territories, the State "could not be unaware" of what was happening.

The organizations highlighted that the CED, through the procedure provided for in Article 34 of the International Convention against Enforced Disappearances, concluded that there are well-founded indications that crimes against humanity linked to systematic disappearances are being committed in Mexico. In light of this, they called for avoiding interpretations that minimize the conclusions of the UN or that present institutional advances as absolving of responsibility in the face of persistent impunity. They also demanded that the Mexican government maintain the same level of commitment shown towards the recommendations of the IACHR in order to address the procedure opened by the CED before the UN General Assembly.
