Sheinbaum Seeks UN Backing; Invites Former GIEI Experts to Resume Role

President Claudia Sheinbaum formally requested the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to propose international specialists to evaluate Mexico's Ayotzinapa investigation. The government simultaneously extended invitations to former GIEI members Ángela Buitrago and Carlos Martín Beristain to return to Mexico in a support capacity. A new investigative methodology centered on intensive phone-call analysis from the night of September 26, 2014 was presented as the primary strategy — having already led to 10+ arrests in November 2025 after court-ordered access to funeral homes and the Semefo morgue in Iguala.
