Brown Bag Lunch Series

Speaker: Nik Steinberg, Mexico and Cuba researcher in Human Rights Watch’s Americas Division

Mexican security forces have committed widespread human rights violations–including killings, disappearances, and torture–in efforts to combat powerful organized crime groups. Almost none of these abuses are adequately investigated, exacerbating a climate of violence and impunity in many parts of the country. Nik Steinberg, Senior Americas Researcher at Human Rights Watch, will discuss the human rights impact of Mexico’s war on drugs and the lack of progress in addressing abuses by the security forces.
