PublicationsThe Mexico Project produces several publications which are all available on this web site. On the following pages you will find our newest publication, Entrevistas, which contains interviews and reports that highlight situations that increase risks to the physical or psychological integrity of Mexican human rights defenders, or that damage the legitimacy of their work. The Bulletin produced by the Mexico Project contains information about PBI's work in Mexico and about the human rights situation in Mexico.

Browse our publications Bulletin 31 - Undermining the Land, November 2011Over the previous year, profits for mining rose to 15,474 million US dollars, 51% more than in 2009. Since then, Mexico is also the world’s top producer of silver. These figures are in contrast with the situation of campesino and indigenous communities affected by mining exploitation and exploration activities. In this publication, PBI gives a voice to the human rights defenders who are faced with big economic interests and who are fighting for their right to the land and to a clean environment. Bulletin 31 - Undermining the Land, November 2011 (pdf 4.2 MB)  Bulletin 30 How Many More? May 2011With this special bulletin, PBI aims to provide information on the process to achieve a governmental protection mechanism that can guarantee the physical and psychological integrity and the ongoing work of Mexican HRDs. Unless HRDs have sufficient political space and safety guarantees to be able to promote social change, Mexico's democratic transition will be seriously compromised. A protection mechanism is therefore both urgent and necessary. Bulletin 30 How Many More? May 2011 (pdf 1.6 MB)  Bulletin 29 Mexico Before The Inter-American CourtThis bulletin from PBI consists of two articles about emblematic cases which have recently appeared before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
