The report analyzes the lack of coherence and transparency in state information on disappearances in Mexico. It stems from findings of inconsistencies in data provided by the INEGI, prosecutor’s offices, and judicial authorities, both in official censuses and in responses to information requests.

The document shows that the State fails not only in the search for missing persons and access to justice, but also in the production and management of reliable public information, preventing an accurate understanding of the scale of the problem and the progress of investigations.

The study evaluates official data using criteria of accessibility, structure, comparability, transparency, and consistency, concluding that institutional opacity perpetuates impunity and the lack of truth for families. The report calls for strengthening public information policies as a key step toward accountability and improving the state’s response to disappearances.
