What Justicia Transicional en México, Estrategias Contra la Impunidad, A.C. (JTMX) does

JTMX is a Mexican nonprofit civil association (Asociación Civil) founded in 2019 that operates as a think-and-action center addressing systemic impunity for grave human rights violations. The organization's model centers on community legal advocacy: it provides integrated accompaniment — legal advisory, strategic litigation, psychosocial support, memory recovery, and political advocacy — to victims of torture, kidnapping, arbitrary detention, and enforced disappearance, with operational depth in Nayarit and national/reach across Mexico. Its principal beneficiary segments are victims' collectives, search collectives led primarily by women, civil society organizations, indigenous communities (Wixárikas, Coras, Tepehuanos, Mexicaneros), and human rights defenders; secondary segments include the general public reached through educational programming.

The organization's core technology is the Narra Nayarit information system, developed jointly with the Guernica Centre for International Justice and hosted on the 'Narra' platform of Canadian firm Freed Object. Narra Nayarit documents persons, events, and groupings involved in corruption and human rights violations in Nayarit between 2008 and 2021, enabling relational analysis and visualization through network graphs. Secondary products include the internationally recognized 'Introducción a la Justicia Transicional' online course (delivered via MoodleCloud, developed with Universidad Veracruzana and CIIES), the Observatorio JTMX research initiative, in-person capacity-building courses, podcasts, and the 'Hasta Encontrarles' radio program. Five cases of torture and kidnapping are being litigated in U.S. jurisdiction in collaboration with Guernica G37 and Baker McKenzie.

JTMX is grant-funded by international foundations, principally Open Society Foundations and the Ford Foundation, with additional support from Fondo Acción Urgente and Fondo Semillas. Its pricing model is freemium: educational content (the 10-hour 'Introducción a la Justicia Transicional' course with certificate of completion) is offered at no cost, while direct legal accompaniment is delivered as a service funded by grants. The organization is governed by a Consejo Directivo chaired by Mariclaire Acosta Urquidi, with three named team members and 7 employees total as of 2025.
