Almost 112,000 people are missing in Mexico. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador claims that is an overcount, but a new U.N. report suggests the number may be even greater.
The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting. Founded in 1846, AP today remains the most trusted source of fast, accurate, unbiased news in all formats and the essential provider of the technology and services vital to the news business. More than half the world’s population sees AP journalism every day.
While acknowledging the Mexican government cooperated with some of its requests since its last full observations in 2018, the U.N. said the national register still lacks a “clear and transparent methodology” or disaggregated data on the sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic and migrant status of victims, among other demographics.
“In many places in Mexico, what you have is the authorities colluded with those who have been the perpetrators of the disappearances,” said Aguilar, now international coordinator for the Miguel Agustín Pro Juárez human rights center. In others cases families “don’t even have authorities to receive the reports.”
When the register for missing people was written into law in 2018 it was welcomed by victims and advocates. More recently, however, it has come under attack by the same administration which created it.
