“This committee analyzes cases from four states of the Republic from 2009 to 2017. They extrapolate the results of this analysis to 2025,” the president stated during her regular press conference.

She noted that, according to the statutes of the United Nations and the committee itself, enforced disappearance is that committed by a state “to make people disappear for primarily political reasons,” and “their analysis falls outside this definition.”

The official noted that the Ministries of the Interior and Foreign Affairs sent documents to the CED (Committee on Disappearances) outlining all the government’s efforts and legislative changes to address the phenomenon, which in this country is linked to organized crime.

“The work being done with collectives, how various actions related to the Search Commission have been carried out since 2019, and how more are being established now. In short, several issues. These were not considered” by this committee, she emphasized.

She clarified that for this reason, the aforementioned ministries issued a statement rejecting the CED’s resolution.

Sheinbaum maintained that this “has nothing to do with the work we do, with the collectives, the solidarity we have with mothers and fathers, with families who unfortunately have a missing person.”
