MEXICO CITY - On Friday the Secretary of Government Affairs [SEGOB] published in the Official Journal of the Federation the decree amending, repealing and adding various provisions to the General Law of Victims and to the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure. The bill is a reform that seeks to compensate the rights of victims of organized crime.
It defines a direct victim as the person who has been affected economically, physically, mentally, emotionally as the result of the commission of a crime or violation of their rights. One of the reforms is the inclusion of the classification of "potential victims", which provides protection for victim advocates in the event that their rights to life and liberty are threatened.
