Civil organizations urged Transparency on Tuesday before the next designation of the new head of the National Search Commission (CNB), which responds to attend the crisis of disappearances in the country, which accumulates more than 133,000 missing people and 73,000 unidentified human remains.
Amnesty International (AI) stressed that President Claudia Sheinbaum’s decision, who will receive the finalist profiles to head the CNB from Wednesday tomorrow, “arrives in the middle of one of the worst human rights crises.”
AI made reference to the official figures, which recently exceeded 133,000 reports of disappearances, with an increase of more than 5,000 cases in the last quarter, according to data from the National Registry of missing and not localized persons (RNPDNO) of the Mexican government.

In addition to this, it is estimated that in the country there are more than 73,000 human remains without identifying, in the midst of field search work, mostly headed by the relatives of the missing persons.
AI called President Sheinbaum and the Segob to ensure that the designation of the new CNB holder is “transparent, with criteria of suitability” and “focused on addressing the crisis of disappearances”, since “Mexico needs a strong and reliable CNB.”
The organization emphasized that CNB is a “key institution” to address the crisis, but “has faced great challenges of coordination, budget and trust of families.”
“The new titular person must build solutions for a crisis that continues to deepen every day,” AI warned.
Among the main challenges to overcome, AI listed the need to comply with the recommendations of international human rights organizations, establish a national policy of prevention and eradication of disappearances, and boost a sufficient and sustained budget.
He also considered urgent to have disaggregated and regional information about the disappearances, strengthen the professionalization of the National Search and Forensic Services System, as well as reconstruct the confidence of families towards the CNB.
“The confidence of families will only be achieved if the work of women seek is recognized, who at risk and without support have assumed the work that corresponds to the State. The new titular person must collaborate with institutions to guarantee their safety and respect for their rights,” said the NGO.
A recent AI report warns that nine out of 10 seeking people in Mexico are women looking for their loved ones, of which at least 97% suffers violence and effects by carrying out a work that corresponds to the State.
Separately, the Miguel Agustín Pro Juárez Human Rights Center (CentroPro) recapitulated that Segob announced that on August 31 the interviews of the CNB candidates would be carried out, which would be publicly public. “
However, on September 4, the CentroPro denounced that relief and parameters were unknown under which the candidacies are being evaluated.
Therefore, the NGO called the authorities to “the selection process at the height of a public, open and transparent consultation that allows identifying the suitability of the profile and its work priorities, as established by the general law in the matter and requires the crisis facing the country.”
