Common Cause
Common Cause is an organization formed by the joint effort of the associations "Citizens for a common cause" and "Horizon and Opportunity" with the objective of promoting the Rule of Law in Mexico. Through this initiative, monitoring and analysis activities are carried out to observe compliance and execution of government policies and plans related to public security. The observatory focuses on three main areas: defense of freedoms and rights, defense of institutions, and defense of victims. In line with these axes, Common Cause issues recommendations, proposes solutions, publishes reports, and in some cases carries out data collection.

Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
