AMLO Creates Truth Commission for 1968 and Dirty War
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador signs a decree creating the Comisión para la Verdad y el Acceso a la Justicia del Caso Ayotzinapa and a broader truth commission for the 'dirty war' period including the 1968 massacre. The commission is tasked with investigating state crimes between 1965 and 1990 and is given access to military and intelligence archives. Human rights organizations welcome it but note it lacks prosecutorial power.
