La Misión tuvo como objetivo recopilar información sobre la situación de los derechos humanos, y más especialmente en el Distrito Federal de México y los Estados de Chiapas, Guerrero y Oaxaca y al mismo tiempo dar seguimiento a la anterior misión llevada a cabo por la Clj en febrero de 1994, y sobre la cual ya hemos publicado un informe.
