This penetrating collection of papers, presents a wealth of detailed information on Mexico’s record in recent years in the realms of crime (especially drug trafficking), political corruption, and human rights abuses, and examines the links between these areas and Mexico’s well-known economic indicators. The authors, many of whom are Mexican, draw on a wide variety of domestic and international sources, including internal Mexican studies (both governmental and non-governmental), reports and studies from international organizations such as the United Nations and the Organization of American States, and reports from Human Rights Watch/Americas. Mexico: Facing the Challenges of Human Rights and Crime was sponsored by the International Human Rights Law Institute of DePaul University College of Law.
