A report released by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) revealed that Mexico was the second largest country after Syria last year, in terms of murder rates for crimes committed by drug cartels.
The report said 23,000 murders were committed in Mexico in 2016, while the war in Syria killed some 60,000 people.
"It is very rare for criminal violence to reach a level close to armed conflict," said Antonio Sampaio, a researcher at the London-based Institute for Security and Conflict Affairs. But that happens in the North Triangle of Central America (Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador), especially in Mexico. "
While the three Central American countries saw a decline in crimes, the crime rate rose 11 percent in Mexico last year.
Sampaio attributed the high level of violence in Mexico to former President Felipe Calderon's December 2006 "war on drugs" in an effort to eradicate gangs, but "the conflict has led to dismal conditions in Mexico, where 105,000 people have been killed in deliberate crimes since That period until November 2012 ".
Calderon said the continuing high rate of murder was due to the failure of current Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto to fulfill his promise not to use weapons to fight drug traffickers.
Globally, conflict deaths have fallen from 167,000 in 2015 to 157,000 last year, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), according to AFP.
