Violation of Mexico's Human Rights

Mexico has long suffered violations of its citizens' human rights. These violations include military abuse, domestic abuse, and discrimination among others. Articles 1-3, Article 5, Articles 7-13, Article 16, Article 19, and lastly, Article 28 have been repeatedly violated throughout the years. Mexicans have no freedom of speech. Some journalists are cruelly tortured for reporting critical views of the police force and the way the government is run. The military in Mexico has been active recently because of the ever growing drug trafficking issues in the country. Though these men are here to protect, they instead act unrelentingly towards citizens who will not give them information asked, or instead, they often beat up women to later rape them. This kind of behavior is also often seen in homes, where men take control of women and threaten them. The criminal justice system is also failing at being dependable, honorable, and most importantly, fair. Victims of this violation have been subjected to acts of torture to gain confessions. Migration is also a fairly big problem in Mexico. The problem is not migration itself, but the consequences brought with this. Authorities have not yet taken the correct methods or adequate steps in order to investigate or prosecute anyone who abuses of migrants. Authorities also rarely inform migrants of the rights they have, becoming perpetrators of these abuses.

Personally, I think that the government should place stricter policies and laws, especially for the physical abuse found in most of Mexico. If these new policies and laws are not followed, these violators will be appropriately punished, serving incarceration or paying fines. Collaboration of citizens is completely necessary, if they wish to ameliorate conditions in their country, social and economically wise.
I also think that anyone who abuses of migrants passing through Mexico, should be properly punished for such brutal actions.
