Poco más del 10% de cuerpos no logran ser identificados
The National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) has revealed that thousands of human remains in Mexico remain unidentified, highlighting that forensic services are overwhelmed by the crisis of disappearances. This first national report demonstrates that the absence of an evidence-based public policy prevents the allocation of resources where they are truly needed, exacerbating the situation in states with the highest rates of unidentified remains. The data show a direct correlation between budgetary shortages, lack of specialization, and insufficient technical equipment, and the growing number of pending cases. Experts point out that inadequate investment and limited personnel hinder efforts to resolve the violence crisis, leaving families without answers and undermining trust in the justice system. This information is crucial for the open data field, as it illustrates how the transparent publication of government statistics can expose systemic failures. By making gaps in public services visible, it fosters accountability and pressures authorities to implement evidence-based solutions, transforming raw data into tools for improving public policies and defending human rights.
