Learning from comparative experiences is vital in the search for the missing: political will, trust, information and specific methodologies are core elements. https://t.co/y7U0z3tgAC @just_security @IIMPSyria

[Alberto Capella @kpya]

To our friends beyond Mexico’s borders.
To citizens of the world.

The overwhelming majority of Mexicans are honest, hardworking, decent people.
With shame, outrage, and deep concern, we have watched key figures in Mexican politics become associated with corruption, criminal infiltration, and alleged ties to drug cartels. That horrifies us just as much as it horrifies you. The difference is that we live with the consequences every single day. We live with the fear of violence and with the painful reality that institutions meant to serve society have, in many cases, been captured by deeply corrupt interests.
Mexico is not Morena. Mexico is not the cartels. Mexico is not El Chapo, El Mayo, El Mencho, Rubén Rocha, or the long list of names tied to criminal power.
The real face of Mexico is found in millions of people who wake up every morning to work with dignity. In artists, scientists, athletes, entrepreneurs, and talented young people who dream of leaving a positive mark on the world.
The truly brave are not the hitmen or cartel leaders. The truly brave are the honest police officers and soldiers who risk their lives every day. Men and women who represent the vast majority within those institutions, even if they have been overshadowed and stigmatized by corrupt individuals wearing the same uniform.
Mexico has also been held hostage by political leaders who seized institutions for their own interests and ended up building structures that have caused enormous damage to the country.
In 2018, after years of efforts to strengthen democracy, development, and equality, a political group rose to power by exploiting the failures, inequalities, and excesses of previous governments. They promised to be different. Instead, they became far worse.
They did not just weaken democratic institutions and dismantle years of progress. They governed through manipulation, lies, fear, improvisation, and in many cases, through a dangerously close relationship with criminal structures.
But Mexico is not that.
Mexico is a nation whose people were betrayed by a ruling class that failed the hopes of millions.
And even so, sooner or later, Mexico will rise again. Because what is growing across this country is not resignation, but outrage, concern, and a deep desire for change. There is also fear. Real fear. Because in today’s Mexico, criticizing those in power or confronting the system can come with unimaginable consequences.
We only ask the world to see us with fairness and objectivity.
And we hope history will understand that, like many nations throughout history, Mexico also became vulnerable to manipulative, resentful, false messianic leadership.
But despite everything, I remain profoundly proud to be Mexican.
Proud of a country that cannot be defined by its governments, but by its people. By its culture, its traditions, its work ethic, its history of struggle, and the dignity that always emerges even in the hardest moments.
I am deeply saddened by our present, because lies, corruption, and fear have tried to stain who we are.
But I still have hope for our future.
Because Mexico has fallen many times before, and many times before it has stood back up. And it will do so again.
Not because of those who betrayed it from positions of power, but because of the millions of Mexican men and women who sustain this country every day through hard work, love, sacrifice, and dignity.

It is hard to find the words to describe my exchanges today in Mexico with the families of people who have disappeared.

It is harder still to fathom their grief and pain.

Their unshakeable courage, strength, and resilience deeply inspire me; their quest for truth and justice must be fulfilled - @volker_turk

"Ordinary systems can't resolve extraordinary problems. When missing persons reach 100s of thousands-as in #Syria or Latin America-only extraordinary, specialised responses can meet the scale of the challenge with a massive approach methodology," @kiquinta, Head @IIMPSyria (2/4)

Info. is vital to search for the missing & science & tech (S&T) are imp. to get it.
It's not if we'll use S&T in search,but how.
