    Guatemala Page 1 of 14 Guatemala Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2006 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 6, 2007 Guatemala is a democratic, multiparty republic with a population of approximately 12.7 million. In 2003 national elections, generally considered by international observers to be free and fair, Oscar Berger of the Grand National Alliance coalition (GANA) won a four-year term, which began in January 2004. While the civilian authorities generally maintained control of the security forces, there were instances in which members of the security forces committed illegal acts including human rights abuses. Although the government generally respected the human rights of its citizens, serious problems remained. The human rights and societal problems included the government's failure to investigate and punish unlawful killings committed by members of the security forces; widespread societal violence, including numerous killings; corruption and substantial inadequacies in the police and judicial sectors; police involvement in kidnappings; impunity for criminal activity; harsh and dangerous prison conditions; arbitrary arrest and detention; failure of the judicial system to ensure full and timely investigation, or fair trials; failure to protect judicial sector officials, witnesses, and civil society organizations from intimidation; discrimination and violence against women; discrimination and violence against gay, transvestite, and transgender persons, trafficking in persons; ethnic discrimination; and ineffective enforcement of labor laws, including child labor provisions. RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1 Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life Although there were no reports that the government or its agents committed any politically motivated killings, members of the police force committed a number of unlawful killings.

The Mayan Q‘eqchi communities have been resisting the local construction of hydroelectric projects and expansion of oil palm plantations in Alta Verapaz. Forced evictions from farms in Santa Rita and Xalahá Cangüinic began in mid-August. In Monte Olivio, Cobán, three community leaders of the peaceful movement against hydroelectric projects, Carmen Hun, Isabel Choc and Obdulia Regina Ical Hun were arrested. On August 15, 1,600 Civilian National Police officers detained Rafael Chen and Carmen del Cid, two community leaders of the Mayan Q’eqchi in Raxruha. In reaction to these detentions people started protesting on the streets and blocked the roads. The Civilian National Police used excessive force against the protesters, raiding homes and physically assaulting demonstrators. People were forced to leave their homes and remain displaced. Forty people were detained, many others were injured and three people lost their lives: Sebastian Rax Caal, Luciano Can Cujub and Oscar Chen Quej were shot by the Civilian National Police.

  • Mayan Q'eqchi' Voices on the Guatemalan National Reparations
    The International Journal of Transitional Justice, Vol. 4, 2010, 4–25, doi: 10.1093/ijtj//ijp024 Advance Access publication: 9 December 2009 Life Is Priceless: Mayan Q’eqchi’ Voices on the Guatemalan National Reparations Program Lieselotte Viaene∗ Abstract1 Little in-depth research has been conducted on or attention paid to the experience and opinions of survivors regarding issues such as reparation, justice, reconciliation and truth in dealing with the aftermath of atrocities. Less still has been said of the way in which vic- tims’ identities impact on these views or are considered in the design of programs aimed at redress for past violations. This article focuses on Guatemala’s National Reparations Pro- gram (PNR) as critically viewed by Mayan Q’eqchi’ victims. The Q’eqchi’ are the second- largest Mayan group in the country and among the most severely affected by the internal armed conflict of 1960 to 1996. In Guatemala, the dominant culture is nonindigenous, al- though the majority of the population is indigenous Maya. This raises the complex issue of the actual and potential role of cultural context in dealing with grave human rights violations. In this regard, it is pertinent to establish how reparation is understood in differ- ent cultural contexts and to question how governmental reparations programs take these contexts into account. The results of extensive ethnographic field research conducted be- tween 2006 and 2009 reveal the need for a locally rooted and culturally sensitive PNR. Introduction We want the president to listen to us, that our words may reach him, that he may know what happened.
