In response, CNDH indicated that in the “selective review” report, information in order to “present a destructive panorama”.
“We are categorically different from this position of the media, which we consider to be biased, and sharply reject the assessment of the specified report on Mexico,” said the autonomous body of the Mexican government.
The commission criticized that the report is used “without a clear methodological basis” and that it does not include public information available through the CNDH itself, which reflects – in his opinion – the deliberate omission of “actions that the Mexican state” performed against torture, “of course, because it does not support its narrative at all”.
Among the “shortcomings” of what CNDH called “the alleged global report that is not global,” since it takes into account only 26 countries, it is said that the use of “prejudiceed public data and is convenient to selectively project an extreme measurement on the torture in the country.”
The essence indicated that the index refers to 2881 complaints torture V MexicoIn the period from 2019 to 2024, of which 3550 victims are received, according to the Federal Institute of Public Defender, which “do not relate to the numbers of CNDH” and “are not in their judicial evidence or legally accredit the existence of acts of torture or the quality of the victim.”
In addition, the commission noted that in the WTO report “The malicious use of the National Examination of Liberty Liberty (ENPOL) 2021”, noting that the high percentage of people in prison suffered from aggression, but evaluates this publication with 2016, which shows a decrease in violence after the detention.
Similarly, the essence indicated that the report combines “such reckless conclusions”, such as “the creation of the National Guard, in 2019, aggravated human rights violations that were committed as a result of the“ drug war ”initiated in 2006,” which were laid down as “complete lie” since arbitration arrest fell from 1029 to 105 in 2024 in 2024.
