- Abstract
The study of corruption is quite a complex and multidimensional subject. Recently this subject has been studied from different angles. One of the major causes and consequences of corruption is impunity.Since corruption provides a supportive environment for the development of impunity, and vice versa, the present text aims to analyze the impact that corruption and impunity have had on Mexico in recent years. The methodology of this text is based on in depth reports, academic research, specialized literature, ethnographic observations, statistical reports, and press news. The text is divided into three sections. The first section describes the relation of corruption and impunity in countries with low levels of good governance, accountability, and balance of powers. The second one presents the case of Mexico, where impunity and corruption have caused the killings of journalists, attacks on press freedom, increases of violence perpetrated by criminal groups, rise of violence including torture, enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, violence against women and girls, andan increase of social instability. The third one presents the challenges and vulnerabilities Mexico faces in terms of strengthening the rule of law as a key pillar to conduct Mexico towards a more equal society.
