Front Line Country & Regional Reports

This report details the surge in attacks against human rights defenders in Guatemala over the past six years. It illustrates how the phenomenon and its consequences have developed into a resurgence of the terror experienced during the internal armed conflict (1960-1996). This analysis clearly reveals a symptom of a broader deterioration of Guatemalan democracy, the human rights situation and the stagnation of the peace process. The report also provides a more in-depth analysis of the differences in the patterns of attacks based on the type of defender attacked.
