The undersecretary for human rights said historical inequality has to be confronted.


A top Mexican official has admitted in an interview published Monday that the case of the 43 disappeared students in Ayotzinapa shows the latent problem of “historical inequality” in the North American nation.

Roberto Campa, Mexico’s under-secretary for human rights in the Interior Ministry, said those tragic events in Ayotzinapa, were the consequence of extreme poverty, marginalization and a police department filtered by organized crime.

“Without a doubt, it is necessary to understand the social decomposition of these communities. It's a warning call,” Campa said during an interview with La Jornada newspaper.

The admission comes after the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR) began investigating the disappearances of the 43 Ayotzinapa students.
