  11. Mexico's disappeared

    The full human cost of Mexico's bloody drug war during the last six years is only now becoming apparent. Nearly 70,000 people died and more than 26,000 went missing between 2006 and 2012.

The result, the report says, is the "most severe crisis of enforced disappearances in Latin America in decades."
