LORUSSO, Fabrizio. A Discussion of the Concept of Clandestine Grave and the Mexican Context. The Case of Guanajuato. Hist. graf [online]. 2021, n.56, pp.129-170. Epub 23-Feb-2021. ISSN 1405-0927. https://doi.org/10.48102/hyg.vi56.354.
The objective of the article is to present and discuss the concept of the clandestine grave, focusing on the Mexican context and the case of Guanajuato. An essential state of the art is constructed to account for the evolution in the use and meanings of the concept of the clandestine grave at the international level and especially in Mexico, in the context of the current human rights crisis and violence. With newspaper sources and official documents, the situation of clandestine graves in Guanajuato and the position of the State Prosecutor’s Office in this regard are analyzed. Finally, a critical assessment is made of the legislative process of the Law for the Search of Missing Persons of the State of Guanajuato and of the proposal of definition of clandestine graves that, although it was not included in the Law, contributed to the public debate on this phenomenon and can be interpreted as part of a political and social dispute.
