Cicig ruffles some feathers
In what many hailed as the first significant breakthrough for the
UN-backed International Commission against Impunity (Cicig) since it began work
in earnest just over a year ago, the Guatemalan authorities issued an arrest
warrant for a former attorney general accused of corruption. The move followed
an agreement between Cicig and the attorney general's office (MP). However, a
subsequent run-in with the Guatemalan judiciary once again exposed the endemic
problem of impunity afflicting the country, and the enormity of the task facing
the commission.
