UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein is in Mexico where he is meeting with legislators and members of President Enrique Peña Nieto's cabinet. Several days ago the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights also visited the country. The presence of international monitors has put Mexico under the spotlight for its pervasive human rights violations, including torture and enforced disappearances. NGOs are calling for the creation of an international commission to follow the situation. Clayton Conn reports from Mexico City. teleSUR
