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

His Excellency

Juan José Ignacio Gómez

Camacho

Government of Mexico

Dear President López Obrador,

I am deeply concerned that more than 61,000 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:
•	Relatives of the disappeared must be allowed to participate in investigations, by contributing information, suggesting lines of inquiry and requesting evidence. They must also be provided with updated, accurate information about any progress.
•	The Extraordinary Mechanism for Forensic Identification that was established must commence operations.
•	Mexico promised to allow the United Nations Committee on Enforced Disappearances to examine individual cases.  It is time to ensure that promise becomes a reality.
•	A national registry of disappeared persons, fully resourced and supported, must be established to reliably record incidents of disappearance.  
•	More must also be done to provide answers and ensure justice for families of the 43 disappeared students of Ayotzinapa, a case of enormous emblematic importance. All government agencies must cooperate fully with the Special Investigation and Litigation Unit, which must be given sufficient resources to carry out its work.  Any officials responsible for irregularities or human rights violations should face justice.

Thank you for acting on these calls!

Sincerely,

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 61,600 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!
