Segob Presses States to Align Search Laws, Fill Disappearance Units, Link Data to Identity Platform

Rosa Icela Rodríguez launched a national training drive to professionalize searches with a victim-centered approach.

Overview

  • She asked governors and state congresses to harmonize local statutes with the Ley General de Búsqueda, noting the deadline has already passed.
  • She urged the six states that still lack specialized disappearance prosecutor’s offices to establish them in compliance with the reform.
  • She called for linking state registries and forensic records to the Plataforma Única de Identidad and for use of the biometric CURP to aid identification and location.
  • She demanded clear, transparent records, an investigative case opened for every disappearance, and up‑to‑date data on human remains supported by an adequate forensic registry.
  • She reported existing capacities of 32 local search commissions plus one federal, 26 state specialized fiscalías plus one federal, and 33 victim commissions, while stressing respectful, non‑stigmatizing treatment of families.
