Now is the date of the preliminary hearing, and the Mexican government will file an oral claim against an arms company in the US state of Massachusetts, which is being sued for negligent trade conduct.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) reported on Tuesday afternoon with a statement that will actually be announced on April 12 next year.
At the hearing, the judge heard the parties' positions on the claims, replies and defences, replies and claims made in the preliminary statement of the disclaimer, and seven briefings by friends in court, and decided whether the trial could proceed with the next steps.
It is worth mentioning that on March 14, the deadline for Ordnance to respond to the aftershock of the Mexican Ministry of Defense accused of killing thousands of people in Mexico was extended.
history
On August 4, 2021, the Mexican government filed a lawsuit in the Massachusetts District Court against the top 10 arms manufacturers, alleging negligent conduct and knowing that their products were illegally trafficked and supplied by criminal groups.
The lawsuit was filed against manufacturers such as Smith and Wesson, Century Arms, Colt Manufacturing, Glock, Luger, and Barrett, while 0.50 caliber sniper rifles were weapons of war used by drug cartels.
On 22 December, the United Nations Security Council approved the resolution on arms trafficking submitted by Mexico, which condemned the distribution of arms to non-State actors resulting in supply and reaffirmed the threat posed by small arms and light weapons to international peace and security.
In view of this, on January 14, Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard was named “Person of the Year” in Gun Control 2021.
