THE DISAPPEARANCE: CRIME IN MEXICO UNPUNISHED
José Enrique González Ruiz
The perpetrator of crimes against humanity
know that Mexico is assured of impunity.
None
pull the blanket to
descobijen not In other countries of Latin America has been judged criminals against humanity; and occurs in nations like Argentina tuvioern military dictatorships, Uruguay and Guatemala. The relevant people have had the satisfaction (small but important) to see criminals in jail pedigree, including high-ranking military violently agreed exercised power and savage methods. Indeed, it has not been able to bring to trial any American, who like Henry Kissinger have been masterminds of heinous crimes, is still very strong because the rule, although it looks like that one day we will see in the dock.
But Mexico has not been a single case of detention of a perpetrator of genocide (as accused Luis Echeverria Alvarez, for example), or disappearance person (as noted Mario Arturo Acosta Chaparro), or ethnocide (as is attributed to Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de Leon), or extrajudicial executions (as is attributed to Carlos Salinas de Gortari). The arrests have been made, such as Miguel Nazar Haro, ended in embarrassing exculpatory statements. We must not lose sight that impunity has given the whole apparatus of state, since it intervened in governmental institutions, the Legislative and Judicial. All powers have conspired to state that none of the perpetrators of international crimes be punished.
At one time, Mexico boasted abroad of its political system and administration of justice. Today is criticized in the universal and country receives treatment systematic violator of human rights. The corruption that runs through all structures of government is because nobody believes in judges or other officials (although they euphemistically called "public servants"). Nobody
providing services to power are encouraged to judge another by their peers, for fear that tomorrow do the same with him. It works a kind of unwritten agreement between members of the political class: if you protect me, I'll do the same.
have never been seriously investigated disappearances
Victims disappearance who escaped from hell and the families of those still missing from the force of state have directed the authorities to achieve three things: Truth, Justice and Reparation. These three objectives are combined in one: keep the historical memory. What they are asking is essentially the live presentation of the suffering this scourge, based on a very simple reason: if they took alive, alive must be submitted.
Governments of Mexico have always avoided the subject, through various subterfuges, from totally ignoring the facts, to point out that they are inventions to discredit, through various degrees of acceptance, but still investigating the allegations as if they were kidnapped.
The legal structure you have at hand is rather poor to cope with such events: we have no official recognition of the constitutionality of Human Rights and continue to talk of individual rights, the judges refuse to apply the provisions international treaties, the disclosure of these is rather poor, is known in legal practice the concepts of international humanitarian law, are handled as arguments of national sovereignty to oppose the progress in human rights, is contrary to enjoy these rights with public safety and national migration is still treated as a crime, the privileges of the powers that remain above the rights of the population, the Supreme Court debate should be whether it complies with the rulings of international courts, and much more.
to the National Commission on Human Rights (NCHR) gives the issue of enforced disappearance abuse treatment: first the prefix of the epithet of "suspects" who are noted as missing and then called up a special prosecutor that culminated in a resounding fiasco. But on the other hand, in the case of Edmundo Reyes Amaya and Gabriel Alberto Cruz Sanchez, claimed as militants by the Popular Revolutionary Army, was an important recommendation that can help resolve the matter thoroughly, revealing what really happened (who took part in the enforced disappearances as speaking each of the actors, when they had the facts that make this continuing offense and where they stopped and illegally withheld.
When the NHRC recommended the submission alive EPR missing detainees, the government reacted in several ways: the state of Oaxaca not accept the recommendation, as well as the state was headed by Ulises Ruiz Ortiz, while the federal protection is saying that the behavior has which is obliged to perform and therefore already met recommended.
At this point, any excuse is unimportant. The federal government must act quickly and well so we know the truth in the case of the EPR and enables, thereby entering the real inquiry of any disappearances in Mexico.
What is missing is much
to find justice in relation to enforced disappearances in Mexico have steep gradients. Of course it is very important work they have done family organizations and many of them personally, the nongovernmental Human Rights and other bodies society. But the earrings are still important:
a) lack a framework law that the prosecution and punishment for this reprehensible crime.
b) The law enforcement bodies do not show the slightest interest in adequately fulfill the task they deserve.
c) Judges and courts are repellent to everything having to do with the Dirty War and its effects.
d) This problem is almost no space in the mass media.
e) From the bottom we have to change the circumstances, that at the time trials start - to be fair, the perpetrators, there are possibilities actual achieve what society demands.
As screams in silence today, "We are to Mother," put an end to the terrible practice of the rulers of people disappear.
