GUATEMALA: Pérez Molina under growing pressure over Cicig
Guatemala’s President Otto Pérez Molina is facing mounting pressure to renew the mandate of the United Nations (UN)-backed international commission against impunity in Guatemala (Cicig), which is due to expire in September. Last month he received a letter from four members of the US House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs calling on him to extend Citig's mandate. The same month US Vice-President Joe Biden visited Guatemala City and urged him to do the same. Cicig’s fate is also crucial to the Plan Alianza para la Prosperidad (PAP) regional development plan for Central America’s ‘Northern Triangle’ (Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras) launched in November 2014 in cooperation with the US and Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), which is aimed at addressing the causes of last year’s unaccompanied child migrant crisis.
