Chihuahua.– After the President of the Republic, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, proposed the elimination of the National Institute of Migration (INM) for the events that occurred in Ciudad Juárez, where 40 undocumented immigrants died in a fire, the president of the State Commission on Rights Human Rights (CEDH), Néstor Armendáriz Loya, pointed out that said institution has already been exceeded to address the phenomenon of human mobility.
The fundamental thing is not the name: Armendáriz
“Given the possibility that the National Institute of Migration disappears and that a National Commission for Immigration and Foreign Affairs is created in its place, the first thing would be to know the details of the corresponding initiative, since what is truly important is not the name or the name given to the body in charge of this function”, said the head of said body.
In that same sense, Armendáriz said that the INM has already been exceeded to attend to all the different aspects of the phenomenon as complex as migration, which requires, in principle, a definition of the country’s migration policy.
“And even I believe that it is also the management that is done at the diplomatic level with other countries, those of origin and with the main country of destination, and ensuring that everything is with a human rights approach and that it is placed at the center of everything. the dignity of people”.
Inherent in human nature
Similarly, the human rights defender expressed that we must be aware that migration is inherent to human nature and that it has existed throughout history and will continue to exist.
“The important thing is also that, regardless of the name and the place, it is that it has the personnel, the equipment and the necessary infrastructure to fully attend to this phenomenon,” said the president of the ECHR.
According to the investigations carried out by experts in field criminalistics and agents of the Criminal Investigation Agency of the Attorney General’s Office (FGR), the 68 migrants who were locked up in a confinement area of the Migration Institute barricaded themselves and set fire to the place, which caused the tragedy that occurred on Monday, March 27.
