“Of course, the publication of a report on human rights This is not a violation of international law” State Department Deputy Press Secretary Vedant Patel said at a news conference when asked about Lopez Obrador’s comments.

Patel explained that the report “a collection of records made on the basis of reliable information media, government agencies, civil society representatives, embassies and consulates.”
