In certain contexts, it can also be classified as a crime against humanity, punishable before the International Criminal Court. In light of the historic and more contemporaneous patterns of enforced disappearances in Mexico, it is essential to understand the legal dimension of such violations in order to be able to address them. The post contains an introduction on the definitions of enforced disappearances under different international and regional treaties.
