The INAI ordered the National Institute of Migration to disclose detailed data regarding unaccompanied minor migrants who were not repatriated between 2018 and 2023, including specific reasons for their retention and access to protection mechanisms. This mandate ensures transparency in how vulnerable populations are handled, moving beyond generic links to concrete statistical insights that reflect the reality of child migration policies in Mexico. Open data serves as a critical tool for safeguarding human rights by making vulnerable demographics visible to society. When statistical information about unaccompanied minors is accessible, it enables the public and policymakers to make informed decisions that prioritize the best interests of the child. This transparency fosters accountability and allows for a deeper understanding of systemic gaps in protection and asylum processes. The relevance to open data lies in its capacity to transform obscure administrative records into actionable public knowledge. By mandating the release of specific metrics on non-repatriation and refugee processes, the ruling demonstrates how open government initiatives can directly impact social welfare. It highlights that access to granular data is essential for monitoring compliance with international protection standards and ensuring that vulnerable groups receive appropriate humanitarian attention.
