They may have to train host-country soldiers, communicate information to the host-coun- try population, or assist the host-country government in restoring essential services. points out in this issue, the law itself cannot Our interactions with foreign populations resolve all human-rights issues.

Paying the Price: Ignacio Ellacuría and the Murdered Jesuits of El Salvador
FOREWORD I remember the moment when I learned of Ignacio Ellacuría’s murder as vividly as I do the assassination of John F. Kennedy and the death of Ernesto “Che” Guevara. This, I suspect, pigeonholes me as a member of a certain class and generation of Latin Americans. This cultural identity may also explain my reaction upon hearing the news—from a Guatemalan diplomat, in the ornate Council Chamber of the Pan-American Union in Washington, D.C. What shot into my mind were the words of the fascist general Millin Astray at a rally during the Spanish Civil War: “¡Viva la Muerte! ¡Abajo la Inteligencia! “ As the U.N. secretary-general’s representative, I devoted the better part of 1990 and 1991 to conducting the negotiations between the government of El Salvador and the Frente Farubundo Martí para la Liberución Nacional (FMLN) that culminated in the comprehensive peace accord signed on January 16, 1992 at Chapultepec Castle, in Mexico City. The negotiations had an ambitious, four-fold purpose: to end the armed conflict, promote democratization, guarantee unrestricted respect for human rights, and reunify Salvadoran society. El Salvador has come a long way since then. As part of a radical reform involving unprecedented constitutional amendments, the Salva- doran armed forces have been restricted to defense from external threats, and deprived of their previous roles in public security matters and as the ultimate arbiter of national political life. They have been purged of Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this foreword do not necessarily reflect the views or position of the United Nations.
