UN tells Mexico to beef up fight against crime


(Vatican Radio) The United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights, or UNHCR, is urging the Mexican Government to aleviate the law and order crisis which is greviously affecting the Country. He's made this announcement after meeting Mexico's President and other key Ministers in the Government. 

Listen to the report by James Blears:


 
Commissioner Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein recommends boosting Attorney Generals' Offices in all of Mexico's 32 States, strengthening the Police and obliging them to observe human rights, withdrawing the Military from law and order, and implimenting urgent recommendations of the Inter-American Human Rights Commission. He says crime fighting in Mexico is failing.

"Official statistics show that 98 percent of all crimes in Mexico remain unsolved,with the great majority of them never even properly investigated. It is not surprising therefore that citizens of Mexico feel insecure," he says.

More than 26,000 people have disappeared in Mexico since 2007.
