MEXICO: New measures target disappearances
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has outlined new measures to combat the crime of enforced disappearance. A long-term problem that successive governments have failed to tackle, Sheinbaum’s announcement comes as the issue is once again in the spotlight following the discovery of makeshift crematoriums and charred human remains at a site in Jalisco state [WR-25-10]. While Sheinbaum’s measures respond to some concerns raised by human rights groups and emphasise the importance of scientific tools to improve forensic capacity, scrutiny will remain high as to whether they can yield results.
