This introductory chapter presents the issue of disappearances committed by organised criminal groups (OCGs) and outlines the legal questions such disappearances raise from the perspective of International Human Rights Law (IHRL). These questions constitute the ‘puzzle’ from which the book departs. The chapter further situates the book within existing scholarship and discusses the scholarly gaps regarding disappearances committed by OCGs, as well as the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to academic research in the field of human rights. After providing an overview of the book’s structure, the remainder of the chapter outlines the methodological approach that combines doctrinal legal research (an ‘internal’ perspective) and a qualitative study on the Mexican context (an ‘external’ perspective) and discusses reflexivity. Finally, the Introduction clarifies the use of the key terms throughout the book.

摘要

This introductory chapter presents the issue of disappearances committed by organised criminal groups (OCGs) and outlines the legal questions such disappearances raise from the perspective of International Human Rights Law (IHRL). These questions constitute the ‘puzzle’ from which the book departs. The chapter further situates the book within existing scholarship and discusses the scholarly gaps regarding disappearances committed by OCGs, as well as the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to academic research in the field of human rights. After providing an overview of the book’s structure, the remainder of the chapter outlines the methodological approach that combines doctrinal legal research (an ‘internal’ perspective) and a qualitative study on the Mexican context (an ‘external’ perspective) and discusses reflexivity. Finally, the Introduction clarifies the use of the key terms throughout the book.
