MEXICO: Search collectives pressure government
Mexico’s enforced disappearance crisis continues to cause headaches for the government led by President Claudia Sheinbaum. The head of state has proposed tackling the problem through a reform to the general law relating to forced disappearances, which she first presented in March [WR-25-11]. However, local human rights groups, search collectives, and families of the disappeared have rejected the reform as insufficient. To try and rectify this, the government has held closed-door meetings with some collectives, which presented proposals to improve the reform. On 24 June a grouping of over 300 search collectives, families, and other organisations issued a statement rejecting the dialogue process and calling for an open debate on the matter.
