Mexico City, December 9th, 2014

No one should be con-tent with the many outstanding issues rela-ted to human rights violations in our country. The National Commis-sion underlines its en-gagement to be the voi-ce of victims, who have seen their rights violated and those whom autho-rities have refused to listen.
