The INAI ordered the Sedena to disclose details on its operations against illegal arms trafficking, following a citizen’s request for transparency. This decision highlights the critical role of public access to information in monitoring state actions that directly impact national security and crime rates. The data reveals a significant volume of seized weapons, tracing their entry points and underscoring the link between illicit arms and the country’s violence crisis. Transparency allows society to understand the scale of this threat, which is exacerbated by organized crime and contributes to high homicide statistics. This case is relevant to open data because it demonstrates how legal frameworks enforce the disclosure of security metrics. By making operational results public, citizens can analyze trends in violence and hold institutions accountable, fostering a more informed and secure society through accessible government data.
