	Anti-crime pact signed by all levels of government
	2008-08-25 (Monday), Right Side News
	An important summit meeting called by the Federal Security Council was held in Mexico City August 21 in which all levels of government committed themselves to an “institutional and legal revolution” in response to the public concern over the “spiral of violence” in the country. In this unprecedented agreement, they defined crime as “a matter of national security.” The meeting included representatives of the three branches of federal government, the 31 state governments, the chief of the capital (DF) government, unions, church, businesses, civil organizations and news media. The representatives signed an anti-crime pact of 75 commitments that have definite time limits for completion. President Felipe Calderón was present for the signing of the pact and assured that the document meant business and “not a letter of good intentions.” The 75 commitments of the agreement were published and require action by signatories at all levels of government for reforms through purging of corruption and improving training in enforcement agencies and diligent management of the justice system, directing enforcement efforts to crimes of most concern to the public, coordinating enforcement and related intelligence efforts and and the continuing oversight and evaluation as the reforms are carried out. The language of the commitments emphasizes recovering public trust. ~~ [Note: The editorial cartoon in our report of 8/22/08 graphically shows the crime problem facing Mexico. Gaining control over crime will be difficult because of the entrenched culture of corruption and neglect . However, the potential benefit of this unprecedented accord, in which all major political parties participated, is encouraging and will bear watching, as it could have positive effects on US border security as well.] ——————– El Universal 8/23/08
