MEXICO CITY ? A group of Mexican activists has lodged a war-crimes complaint against President Felipe Calderon at the International Criminal Court.
A lawyer for the activists says Calderon's offensive against drug cartels has involved about 470 cases of human rights violations by the army or police.
Lawyer Netzai Sandoval says Mexican drug lords have also committed crimes against humanity during the conflict, which has cost 35,000 to 40,000 lives since late 2006.
The complaint filed Friday at the court in the Netherlands also names Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
Calderon's administration has denied the accusations, saying it's an elected, democratic government fighting criminals and has established mechanisms to protect human rights.
