The request made ismael May Zambada for the Government of Mexico to grant consular assistance and claim its immediate repatriation to the United States. Congress of that country.

The above as indicated in the 33 pages document Request for consular assistance and repatriation to Mexicodelivered to the Consulate of Mexico in New York, and in which the treaty is alluded to prohibit cross -border kidnappings, signed on November 20, 1994 during the government of Carlos Salinas de Gortari, ratified by the Mexican Senate and published in the Official Gazette of the Federation On February 16, 2001, in the mandate of Vicente Fox. However, that binational agreement has not been ratified by the United States Congress.

In the allegations of Zambada so that Mexico demands its repatriation, the knowledge that the defense of the capo has about the lack of ratification to the agreement is indicated, the Mexican authorities request to request That the US Judiciary and the United States government commit and deliver sufficient guarantees that the death penalty will not be applied to me.

The petition written in Spanish, delivered in New York by lawyer Frank Pérez, was made with a copy for President Claudia Sheinbaum, the Attorney General’s Office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Mexico Embassy in the United States.

The text indicates: The Treaty to prohibit cross -border kidnappings between the United Mexican States and the United States of America, signed in 1994, although not perfected by the lack of ratification of the United States, constitutes an instrument of reference and guiding force in international law to face acts illegal as the irregular transfer of Mexican citizen Ismael Zambada García. This treaty reflects fundamental principles of international law that must be respected, regardless of formal ratification. The lack of action by the United States to improve the treaty, in addition to its repeated violations of international law, reinforces Mexico’s obligation to invoke and apply it as a standard to protect national sovereignty and human rights.

In the request for consular assistance there is a section that refers: Although Mexico ratified this treaty in 2001, the United States has not complied with its part, demonstrating a lack of commitment to international standards that both countries agreed to prevent illegal acts of forced transfers.
