Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts (Grupo Interdisciplinario de Expertos Independientes, GIEI) is the title shared by a series of committees of human rights experts appointed by the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights to investigate particular incidents or scenarios of human rights violations.
The instances of the Group so far are:
- Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts for the Ayotzinapa Case
- Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts for Nicaragua, created July 2018[1]
- Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts for Bolivia, examining human rights abuses during the Bolivian political crisis from September to December 2019
In July 2017, a study was published explaining how at least 19 experts were infected by israeli spyware Pegasus whilst investigating the mass disappearance of 43 mexican students in Iguala, the largest human rights scandal in modern Mexican history. [2][3] The infection took place during 2016.
