TA7-15230

The tribunal found on the evidence that Mexico provides adequate state protection and available domestic complaint mechanisms, the claimant failed to demonstrate clear and convincing lack of protection or to exhaust reasonable domestic remedies, and a viable internal flight alternative existed in Monterrey; therefore the claimants are neither Convention refugees nor persons in need of protection under IRPA ss.97(1)(a) and 97(1)(b).
