A report by the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the best approach to tackle drug related violence in Mexico and new approaches to ensure public safety. The report says it may take ten years, or even a generation to reform Mexico's poorly trained, ineffective and in many cases corrupt police and courts. The new focus on police and courts and training comes as it is reported that only 2 percent of reported crimes in Mexico lead to convictions. Some reports point to middle class fears of taking cases to the police because of corruption. This report in the U.S. comes as a new president takes office in Mexico with a different approach to the drug war.

We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
