Forensic science is critical in the search for justice and the fight against impunity. Africa suffers from a dearth of forensic pathologists and Switzerland is helping to boost their numbers with training.  In Mexico, forensic scientists need support to help identify the tens of thousands of victims of Mexico's drugs war. The University Centre of Legal Medicine Lausanne-Geneva (CURML) is developing tools to find graves.

Articles and videos on forensic training in African countries and Mexico are available on swissinfo.ch. For other science stories from Switzerland please go to www.swissinfo.ch/science.
