Parents of Missing Mexican Students Take Fight to U.N. 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
The parents of 43 Mexican students missing since September have taken
their struggle for answers to the United Nations. The parents traveled
to Geneva, where the U.N. Committee on Enforced Disappearances is
considering Mexico's record. Speaking to reporters as he wore a T-shirt
showing his missing son, Bernabé Abraján de la Cruz called for
international help to uncover the students' fate.

Bernabé Abraján de la Cruz: "We've decided to come here, to this
committee, to get some support and to really obtain justice, given the
fact that our government is not able to do anything. So we came here, so
that human rights, at the international level, will force the government
to let us, the 43 families' parents, know the truth and find our
children, our beloved ones, and end this torture."
