Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for coming today and taking time out of your busy schedules to share your testimony with our committee.
According to Human Rights Watch, problems of enforced disappearances, extrajudicial executions, and of course, torture are widespread in Mexico. Mexico's new Attorney General Gomez Gonzalez, upon taking office in March, pledged to investigate violations including disappearances and torture and to make it a priority to work with the national and international human rights monitors.
Do you believe that Ms. Gonzalez can ensure that the human rights abuses are effectively investigated and punished?
