Ariel Dulitzky, Director of the UT Human Rights Clinic, is a member of the United Nations Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances. He just returned from Mexico where he was part of a fact-finding mission on the situation of enforced disappearances. He will present and discuss the preliminary observations of the Working Group mission. In a broader perspective, Prof. Dulitzky will analyze the relationship and interactions between an international human rights mechanism, the Mexican government and civil society organizations.

Dr. Ricardo Ainslie, a professor in the Department of Education Psychology, will serve as a discussant. He directed the film "¡Ya Basta!" ("Enough!), a disturbing, intimate documentary on the epidemic of kidnappings and related crimes that started in Mexico in the '90s.

This event is sponsored by the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies, the Rapaport Center for Human Rights and Justice and the Human Rights Clinic.
