MEXICAN HUMAN RIGHTS/RULE OF LAW ORGANIZATIONS 
 
 
MEXICO 00006044  001.2 OF 002 
 
 
1.  (SBU)  Summary:  On October 30, Deputy Secretary 
Negroponte met with Mexican human rights groups to address 
the concerns raised in recent weeks regarding both President 
Calderon,s approach to law enforcement and the Merida 
Initiative.  He conveyed the U.S. commitment to promoting 
greater respect for human rights in Mexico and listened to 
concerns regarding what group members believe to be the 
sub-par human rights performance by Mexican security 
elements.  He acknowledged that these need to be addressed, 
at the same time stressing that better equipment and training 
are fundamental to professionalizing Mexico,s security 
forces and curbing rights abuses.   End Summary. 
 
2.  (SBU)  None of the representatives from the six human 
rights/rule of law organizations (including Amnesty 
International Mexico) objected outright to the Merida 
Initiative, but all expressed hope that some initiative funds 
would be used to address systemic weaknesses that encouraged 
human rights abuses by security elements here. In addition, 
representatives expressed concern with: 
 
--Mexico,s judicial system:  Most criticized the 
inefficiencies of the current inquisitorial system and cited 
them as the most significant obstacles to improving law 
enforcement in Mexico.   The group welcomed reforms of the 
civil and criminal procedure codes that had been discussed, 
but thought that the could be implemented more quickly. 
Lucy Tacher of the rule of law NGO ProDerecho cited the move 
to an accusatorial justice system already underway in the 
state of Chihuahua as a positive development and said it was 
a model for what could be accomplished on a national level. 
 
 
-- Militarization: Many of the NGOs raised concerns about the 
use of military units to fight drug traffickers.  They 
complained about the lack of civilian control over the 
military, as well as inadequate investigation of human rights 
abuses and criminal activity, including drug and human 
trafficking.  Lauren McCulloch, of the Miguel Agustin Pro 
Juarez Human Rights Center maintained that the police and 
military regularly exercise excessive force and rarely face 
consequences.  She remarked that several women have been 
raped by law enforcement officials while they were detained 
but have not filed official complaints for fear of 
retribution. 
 
3.  (SBU)  While they did not object to enhanced bilateral 
counter-narcotics cooperation, the human rights 
representatives urged the U.S. to ensure that significant 
resources are used to strengthening institutions that protect 
human rights.  The rights groups also called on the U.S. to 
use the initiative to leverage greater accountability for 
police and military accused of committing right abuses. 
Liliana Velazquez Ramirez, President of Amnesty International 
Mexico, recognized the Mexican government needs to put 
security near the top of its policy agenda, but said it must 
do far more to address concerns about impunity of police and 
military units accused of rights abuses. 
 
4.  (SBU)  The Deputy Secretary concluded by noting that the 
level of violence had increased substantially in Mexico since 
his tenure as Ambassador here, pointing out that 250 members 
of law enforcement and the military had been murdered so far 
this year.  While taking on the concerns raised by group 
members with regards to poor human rights performance of law 
enforcement elements in Mexico, he emphasized the salutary 
impact providing greater resources and training would have on 
overall police performance.   Ultimately, better 
professionalism and higher standards would result in fewer 
abuses. 
 
5.  Groups attending the round table were: Amnesty 
International Mexico, the National Network of Human Rights 
Organizations, the Miguel Agustin Pro Juarez Human Rights 
Center, Mexico United Against Crime, ProDerecho and the 
Community Participation in Public Security.     Ambassador 
Negroponte was accompanied by members of his staff, Assistant 
Secretary of State Tom Shannon, Ambassador Garza, Embassy DCM 
 
SIPDIS 
Leslie Bassett and two political officers.
