Missing persons in Mexico

Disappearances and missing person cases in Mexico have remained a pressing social and political issue within the country since the 2000s.

Searches for missing people have been complicated by politics, corruption, and other beaureaucratic and societal factors. Societal demand to investigate disappearances has made missing people a pertinent issue in both national and local Mexican elections. In particular, concerns that the Mexican government is undercounting the number of missing persons, or covering up disappearances, have drawn both national and international concern from groups such as the United Nations and Human Rights Watch.
