GUATEMALA: A worrying sign in Guatemala
A recent ruling by Guatemala’s constitutional court (CC) which would cut short the mandate of respected attorney general Claudia Paz y Paz has reignited domestic and international concerns about impunity in the country. Along with the United Nations (UN)-backed anti-impunity commission in Guatemala (Cicig), whose mandate is due to end in September 2015, Paz y Paz is widely considered key to progress vis-à-vis efforts to crack down on impunity. Her imminent departure has aroused fears that these efforts could well unravel.
