Guatemalan officials and the justice system as a whole have failed to deliver accountability and provide redress for enforced disappearances and unlawful deaths, said the ICJ in a report released today. It is estimated that around 45,000 people were subjected to enforced disappearance during the internal armed conflict (1960-1996), including some 5,000 children.
President Saied’s continued attacks on the separation of powers and the 2014 constitution should receive international condemnation, said the ICJ today.
Today, the International Commission of Jurists launches a guide for human rights defenders who work on accountability for serious human rights violations, including, in particular, unlawful deaths and enforced disappearances.
