GAMINO MUNOZ, Rodolfo. The Origins of the “Historical Truth”. The First Reports on the Forced Disappearances of People in Mexico. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2020, vol.41, n.161, pp.1-25. Epub 19-Nov-2020. ISSN 2448-7554. https://doi.org/10.24901/rehs.v40i161.662.
This article analyzes the first two Investigative Reports elaborated in Mexico on the topic of the forced disappearances of people. These two documents focused on the case of the armed rural mobilization in the state of Guerrero in the early 1970s. The analysis of the files of that investigation reveal that the Mexican State has confronted the problem of forced disappearances as an enduring phenomenon, while also shedding light on how governmental institutions have been used, and the legal and bureaucratic techniques that have been implemented, in efforts to manage this continuous crime wave. Our objective in presenting and examining these two reports is to elaborate a long-term study that seeks to establish the ruptures and continuities in the patterns of the forced disappearances of people and, parallel to this, understand the responses -institutional, political and juridical- that the Mexican State has implemented in response to this ongoing criminal phenomenon.
