Mexico Disappearances

FILE – Members of the Solecito Collective who are seeking their missing loved ones look for signs of clandestine graves inside a municipal dump in the port city of Veracruz, Mexico, March 11, 2019.

Mexican activists filed a criminal complaint Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2022, at the International Court of Justice at The Hague, arguing authorities cooperated with or allowed drug cartels to abduct people who were never seen again.

The case involves hundreds of people who disappeared in Mexico’s Gulf coast state of Veracruz between 2010 and 2016.
