The United States government affirmed today that impunity persists in Mexico for serious human rights violations. In an annual report, the State Department denounced the participation of the police and military in "serious abuses, such as extrajudicial executions, torture and disappearances." Washington considers that other "serious problems" in Mexico are impunity and corruption within the police forces and the judicial system. In its report, the State Department also noted that last year in Mexico organized crime groups "murdered, kidnapped and intimidated citizens, immigrants, journalists and human rights defenders." The document highlights "the poor conditions of Mexican prisons, arbitrary arrests and detentions, threats and violence against human rights defenders and journalists, and violence against immigrants." President Barack Obama's administration is also concerned about "violence against women, domestic violence, abuses committed against the disabled, threats and violence against indigenous people and lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex people.
And child labor, including forced child labor. The State Department highlights in its report that "impunity for human rights abuses continues to be a problem throughout the country, with extremely low rates of prosecution of all forms of crime." The report adds that "neither general information on government investigations into allegations of human rights violations, nor information on specific cases" is readily available to the public. Miguel Ruiz Cabañas, Undersecretary Bahamas Mobile Number List for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE), recognized today in Washington the challenges his country faces in terms of human rights. ''We have never denied that Mexico faces challenges in this matter,'' Cabañas said in statements to the press, hours before the State Department presented its report. The official assured that ''a great effort is being made by the federal government to address each and every one of the challenges that Mexico faces. "It is a responsibility of the three levels of government and the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches, but it is up to the federal government to lead the effort."
The Federal Consumer Protection Agency (Profeco) and the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) signed a collaboration agreement, which will improve actions in the fight against piracy and misleading advertising. Through its Twitter account, Profeco highlights that the agreement also includes measures to protect intellectual property. The organization directed by Lorena Martínez points out that in this way both parties will share and disseminate information in favor of consumers. According to the Profeco official, in Mexico it is important to support fair competition between brands in advertising. He explains that one of Mexico's problems in this matter refers to the few trademarks and patents that are registered, hence the importance of promoting registration among entrepreneurs, especially young people. The general director of IMPI, Miguel Ángel Margáin González, said at the time that the agreement will promote the protection of intellectual property.
