UN rights chief visits Mexico as disappearances crisis deepens

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, is visiting Mexico amid growing calls to treat the country's crisis of forced disappearances as crimes against humanity. More than 133,000 cases have been reported, though the Mexican government disputes the scale, claiming some may be duplicates or already resolved. A recent UN committee report accused officials of complicity and systemic failure, prompting relatives of the missing to demand greater accountability. Many families have spent years searching for loved ones themselves, often uncovering clandestine graves at personal risk. Al Jazeera's Julia Galiano reports from Mexico City, Mexico.
