Mexico's Attorney General overhauls disappearances investigations after UN ruling

Original: Mexico: the Office of the Attorney General adopts a new investigative approach after the the United Nations Committee on Enforced Disappearances’s historic decision on enforced disappearances.

Mexico's Office of the Attorney General has adopted a new investigative approach following a historic decision by the United Nations Committee on Enforced Disappearances. The human rights federation announcing the change says the ruling marks a significant shift in how cases of enforced disappearances are to be handled. Thousands of disappearances remain unsolved in Mexico, and rights groups have long pressed for structural reform of investigations.

Why now: The UN committee's landmark decision is pushing Mexico to reform how it investigates the country's tens of thousands of enforced disappearances.
