The Working Group concluded that the Mexican State was responsible for the arbitrary detention of the petitioners and for the violation of articles 7, 8, 9, and 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and articles 9 and 26 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and falls within categories I, II and IV related to the Group's mandate. 18 February 2020 | Judicial Body: UN Human Rights Council | Document type: Case Law | Topic(s): Arbitrary arrest and detention | Countries: Mexico |
