There is now a date for the initial hearing where the Government of Mexico will present oral arguments against arms companies in Massachusetts, United States, who were sued for negligent trade practices.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) reported on Tuesday afternoon through a statement that will be next April 12 virtually.
At the hearing, the judge will hear the positions of each party to evaluate them in conjunction with the arguments presented in the initial statement of claim, response and defenses, reply and counter-reply, as well as in the seven briefs of friends of the court, to determine whether the trial can continue to its next stage.
It is worth mentioning that on March 14, the extension of the deadline for the armories to submit a response to the aftershocks of the Mexican defense, which accuses them of causing the murder of thousands of people on Mexican territory, ended.
History
On August 4, 2021, the Government of Mexico filed a lawsuit in a Massachusetts District Court against the 10 major arms manufacturers, which it accuses of negligent practices and of being aware that their products are being illegally trafficked into the country to supply organized crime groups.
The lawsuit was filed against manufacturers such as Smith & Wesson, Century Arms, Colt's Manufacturing, Glock, Ruger and Barrett, whose .50 caliber sniper rifle is a weapon of war used by drug cartels.
On December 22, the UN Security Council approved the resolution submitted by Mexico against arms trafficking, which condemns the distribution of weapons that result in supplies to non-State actors and reaffirms that small arms and light weapons pose threats to international peace and security .
Given this, on January 14, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Marcelo Ebrard, was named “Person of the Year” in Gun Control 2021.
