Resumen
La impunidad se define como la ausencia de castigo a los responsables de cometer delitos. En
el caso de México, destaca la impunidad por el crimen de desaparición forzada de personas. La
desaparición forzada se ha manifestado en México al menos en tres periodos: la Guerra Sucia,
el conflicto Zapatista y la guerra contra las drogas. Los crímenes que se han cometido en esos
contextos permanecen sin castigo, por lo que las víctimas permanecen sin ser reparadas de
manera integral.
El artículo busca dimensionar el caso mexicano sobre el crimen de la desaparición forzada a la
luz de los elementos que componen el concepto de impunidad. Además, plantea una serie de
propuestas tendientes a contribuir a la erradicación de la impunidad por graves violaciones a
derechos humanos.
Palabras clave
Derechos Humanos, impunidad, desaparición forzada, crimen, violencia.
Abstract
Impunity is defined as the absence of punishment for those responsible for committing
crimes. In the case of Mexico, impunity stands out for the crime of enforced disappearance of
persons. The enforced disappearance has manifested in Mexico in at least three periods: the
Dirty War, the Zapatista conflict and the war on drugs. The crimes that have been committed
in those contexts remain unpunished, so that the victims remain without an integral
reparation.
The article seeks to analyze the Mexican case on the crime of forced disappearance
considering the elements that make up the concept of impunity. In addition, it explores a
series of proposals tending to contribute to the eradication of impunity for serious human
rights violations.
