Mexico: Laws Without Justice

Mexico has signed and ratified most international and regional human rights instruments... Despite this apparent readiness to improve respect for human rights, widespread abuses committed in the context of the public security and criminal justice system remain one of the central obstacles to major advances in the protection of human rights and access to justice.
