Pide INAI a Comisión de Búsqueda transparentar censo de desaparecidos

The INAI resolution establishes that any initiative to modify the registry of missing persons in Mexico must strictly adhere to transparency and accountability. This is crucial given the grave volume of cases in the country, where a lack of clarity in procedures can lead to underreporting of data or the revictimization of families. The obligation to report on methodology and training is not merely administrative but an ethical guarantee to prevent statistics from obscuring the true magnitude of the humanitarian crisis. The case illustrates the tension between public data management and the right to know. When the National Search Commission failed to search for documents in its competent units and provided a contradictory response, it violated established legal procedures. The authority determined that silence or loss of information does not exempt the state from its duty of transparency, especially when actual training has not been adequately documented. This precedent is fundamental to the open data movement because it demonstrates that the availability of public information requires a robust institutional architecture. It is not enough to have transparency policies; institutions must ensure that information generated during sensitive processes is locatable, coherent, and accessible. Without this integrity in data management, civil society loses the capacity to audit and improve evidence-based public policies.
