Mexico City has very good infrastructure: health, housing, schools, banking transportation, telecommunications, and recreational facilities.

The current security situation in Mexico is considered stable.

Nevertheless, common crime activities such as robbery, theft, and "express kidnapping", among others, represent a serious threat to any citizen living in Mexico.

There is no direct threat to UN Staff or other international organizations. Movements within Mexico City can be done without restrictions; however, staff must adopt basic precautions. Any movement outside Mexico City must be cleared by the UNDSS system in place.
