The disappearances that are currently being committed in Mexico “are forced disappearances,” said the Mexican lawyer Santiago Corcueraformer president of the Committee against the Forced Disappearances of the United Nations Organization (UN).
He explained that “although they are not the same type of those that were committed in the Dirty warthey are, “and he accused that” the governments of Pan and the PRI were also denialiststhey were alarmed, outraged and rejected this reality, which qualified as exaggerated since 2010 ”.
In an interview in the Interdicts program, of El Financiero Bloomberg, with the journalist René Delgado, the teacher in law stated that “much has been said by the ruling party, that forced disappearances are no longer committed from the state, as if the perpetrators were exclusively, for example, army agents, as happened in Argentina or in Chile.
“The bad thing about doing these assertions is that it is omitted to include in the concept of forced disappearance, those that are committed by non -state agents, with the authorization, support or acquiescence of state agents,” he said.
-He said that “when they say that in Mexico there is no longer forced disappearance, it is understood that the State knew, had reasons to know or should know the real or imminent risk of its commission, because the State has accepted, tolerated or spoiled that situation, even if it is implicitly.”
He described as “shameful” the claims of the president of the Senate, the president of Morena and the Secretary of the Interior, pointing out of “faccious” to the UN Committee.
It was also “a mistake” to use the concept of “state policies”, because the committee “has not used that term, they have said that in Mexico there is a context of generalized forced disappearances, not that they are committed as part of a state policy or as a systematic attack against the civilian population.”
The expert anticipated that if the UN Committee considers that the complete information was not delivered and the Disappearances systematicallythe case would take the plenary of the The general asamble from the UNand it would be the first time in history that happens.
