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.
