OAS endorses IACHR recommendations

The General Secretary of the Organization of American States, Luis Almagro Lemes, expressed before the plenum of the Mexican Senate that the organization endorses the conclusions of the Expert Group of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights about the disappearance of the 43 students from Ayotzinapa in Iguala, Guerrero, in September last year.

He added that the investigation of the group is "an important contribution in the fight against impunity."

Almagro Lemes also praised the position of the government of President Enrique Peña Nieto about the Iguala case, accepting the results of the investigation and its recommendations, as well as leading the search for truth and justice.

The president of the Senate, Roberto Gil Zuarth, from the right-wing National Action Party, expressed that in the Ayotzinapa case the government has a debt and said that Congress has the responsibility of generating the conditions to find solutions regarding the disappearance of those youngsters.
