Defend Human Rights in the Americas!

Human rights are still being violated in the Americas today. When countries fail to defend their own citizens the Inter-American Commission and Court of Human Rights stand up to defend their rights. The Inter-American Human Rights System (IAS) is the last hope for justice for millions of people in the region.

Press Release

PBI Mexico invites you to the following event:

"The responsibility of the Mexican state to ensure the safety of human rights defenders and journalists"
Continuity and challenges in implementing the protection mechanism

Mexico City- In the context of the Second Government Report of the Governor of Oaxaca, which was presented last Thursday November 15^th, PBI has interviewed the organisations which we accompany in that state, in order to produce a briefing.

During the biannual strategic meeting of the Mexico Project (MEP) of Peace Brigades International (PBI), held this October, PBI Mexico has decided to open a new regional team during 2013 to address the situation of Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) in the states of Chihuahua and Coahuila. This decision is the result of an exploratory mission carried out in 2012.

Northern Baja California, Mexico, shares a border with the United States, and this proximity, combined with the region’s strong agricultural market, has encouraged a flood of internal migration from other parts of Mexico, particularly from communities in Oaxaca and Guerrero.
