The reality of enforced disappearances is one of Mexico’s most serious structural crises. In April 2026, it became a topic of debate at the highest political level when the national government dismissed a report by the UN Committee on Enforced Disappearances which classified these acts as “crimes against humanity”. Journalist Gabriela Warkentin and singer and activist Vivir Quintana will speak to the BBC Mundo journalist Juan Carlos Pérez about this recent controversy and analyse what steps need to be taken to end impunity and alleviate the suffering of families.
