NGO: Impunity preventing resolution of human rights crisis in Mexico

Mexico City, Dec 27 (EFE).- The human rights crisis in which Mexico has been mired for more than a decade has not been reversed in 2021, the same lack of success as in earlier years, due to persistent impunity and violence, civil organizations told EFE.

According to figures from the National Search Commission (CNB), since 1964 Mexico has experienced more than 95,000 disappearances - that is, people who have never been located - the great majority of them since the start of the military's war on drug trafficking launched in 2006.
