This article analyzes the political use that successive governments in Mexico have made of the agencies dedicated to investigating crimes committed by the state and other agents during the dirty war and the war on drugs. It argues that, rather than elucidating the facts, seeking justice, or repairing the damage inflicted on the population, the creation of these entities responded to the interest of the new elites in currying favor with their voters. Therefore, rather than focusing on their functioning, this paper seeks to explain how and why the work of these bodies was hampered by the very authorities that established them.
