Call on Mexico’s President to search for the missing and put an end to disappearances

Obrador

Government of Mexico

Dear President López Obrador,

I am deeply concerned that more than 73,000 people are now reported missing in Mexico.

Despite welcome commitments by your government to address this crisis, the number of cases continues to climb.

In solidarity with families of the disappeared, I echo their calls for decisive action, as follows:
	
- Investigate all cases of disappearances and enforced disappearances promptly, thoroughly and impartially and bring those responsible to justice in trials that meet international fair trial standards.
- Allow relatives of the disappeared to contribute information, suggest lines of inquiry and request evidence; and provide them with updated, accurate information about any progress.
- Ensure that the Extraordinary Mechanism for Forensic Identification starts operating.
- Invite the United Nations Committee on Enforced Disappearances to visit Mexico and examine individual cases, in keeping with commitments by your government.
- Ensure truth and justice for families of the 43 disappeared students of Ayotzinapa, a case of enormous emblematic importance
- Continue searches for all the disappeared students. Bring to justice anyone who participated in their enforced disappearance – either by action or omission – including local, state and federal security forces, and members of the armed forces. Also bring to justice officials responsible for irregularities or human rights violations perpetrated during the investigation so as to cover up the truth.

Thank you for acting on these calls!

Call on Mexico’s President to act on promises to stop the crisis of disappearances

The world was shocked when 43 teacher-training students were taken away by police in 2014 and never seen again. Sadly, their disappearance is no isolated case.

More than 73,000 people are now reported disappeared in Mexico. It’s a staggering number that only continues to climb.

It's time to stop the open wound of disappearances in Mexico

The families of the disappeared joined together in self-help groups and formed a national movement to demand action. Their tireless efforts achieved commitments by the government to create a National Search System and special investigators to bring perpetrators of disappearances to justice. But promises are not enough. The authorities must act on them and stop this crisis!
