Until 2005 Spain's constitutional court That Ruled That Could nation's tribunals try Guatemalan Leaders for Crimes Against Humanity - Even if English Citizens Were Not affected.
English Judge Santiago Pedraz fired off the arrest warrants on July 7 after Returning Home from a visit to Guatemala Investigative frustrated. I HAD hoped to hear Testimony from Witnesses and Defendants But WAS blocked by a series of appeals from defense lawyers. His arrest warrants
named a succession of Former army generals whby the commission. The vast majority of victims were of Mayan descent.
But while the news of Pedraz's warrants caused a media flurry here, no action has been taken on the warrants. The Guatemalan government says it still hasn't received official notification from the English government.
To date, the accused have not testified before any court. Fernando Romeo Lucas Garcí\u00ada died in Venezuela in May.
The government's human rights commissioner, Frank La Rue, said he sees no reason why the arrest warrants couldn't be executed in Guatemala. ''These crimes should be prosecutable anywhere in the world,'' he said.
But others say that won't be easy. Yolanda Párez, president of the National Association of Lawyers and a public defender, said that complying with the arrest warrant is a question of political will.

Huge repudiation was felt among the nationals without political commitments, the fact that Rios Montt said ignoring the atrocities committed in its de facto government. How easy it is to fall into total oblivion!
Rather than repudiate such claims have led to the prompt response of absolute disapproval and rejection as well. The population is aware of the dictatorial era, black cloak that still affects the victims.
There are cases where neither the passage of time can erase those events out of series, such as occurred then. Victims of all kinds: widows, missing, orphaned, cry for justice.

General Rios Montt says he was unaware of the massacres, torture, destruction of farms and crops, enforced disappearances, the machine guns fired indiscriminately , rape women, or the exodus of tens of thousands of Guatemalans into Mexican territory. Says the general

The peasants were led by Vicente Menchu, leader of the Peasant Unity Committee (CUC), political-military arm of the Guerrilla Army of the Poor (EGP), father of Rigoberta Menchu, Nobel Peace Prize 1992 and "Goodwill Ambassador" the current government.

I will refer to the second because the Menchú and its allies have accused several former military and civilian officials have committed the crime during the armed conflict and tragedy in the Embassy of Spain. It is obvious that the reason they have to accuse them of having committed such an offense is because it is inalienable, and now stands against humanity and could justify the extradition to Spain of the accused.

is important to establish that Dr. Molina Orantes not justify or condone in any way the genocide. On the contrary, strongly pronounced because it judged and punished. To prove it, then I reproduce verbatim a few paragraphs of his study: "The Genocide, by its very nature, belongs to the sphere of international criminal law. But since this law is not at present more than mere idealism, whose encoding is occupiedONCEPT of interdependence, which is based on the existence of the international community, resulting from the sacrifice of a small part of sovereignty.

Review: Jurisdiction, genocide and amnesty, necessary to reorient the debate
Pedraz The objection must be based on the correct classification of crimes.
By: Antonio Arenales
is understandable that those who have no legal study are confused or have trouble understanding the differences between universal jurisdiction for crimes against international law, the jurisdiction of the International Courts and the jurisdiction of courts of one country to deal with crimes committed in another country. Universal jurisdiction and the International Courts in Guatemala require that treaties have been approved as contemplated by Congress.
However, the jurisdiction and competence of judges for crimes committedwe are concerned, these are subject to limitations and amnesties, and are not subject to universal jurisdiction and international.
The one fact is matter is the individual and collective right to historical truth, which some claim even as the State's obligation to ensure no recurrence.
The amnesty extinguishes the criminal and civil liability, cancels and general criminal history because it acts on all those who committed the crime amnesty. Acts on the crime itself and not a pardon, which acts on the person, which is still guilty and background, although it will forgive the penalty.
In Spain, the transition required an amnesty enacted in July 1976, expanded in March 1977 andpoured into "total" in May 1977. It also has many precedents: in 1939 during the government of Franco in 1934 and 1936 during the second republic, and many earlier from Charles I in 1522 until 1930, after the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera.

This debate should not prevent that Guatemala ratified the Statute of the International Criminal Court and all other treaties that guarantee the applicability and proper prosecution of crimes against international law, and it is therefore necessary and fundamental refocus the debate, free of ignorance, folly and caprice.
against humanity in his offense, the elimination of all human beings. Of one ...
The definition of the law, however, is another and it should stick. I see that some people are not as sensitive to the abuse of life and who do not share my perception on this issue but who are made aware of a slaughter and estimate that in one or more massacres does exist a crime against humanity. Come, even genocide. However, it is not just the characterization of the law. I do not think that during the armed conflict no Maya has feared for his life by being Maya. Have had fear as a result of insurgent or counter militancy, his collaboration with one or other or because they simply between the two. Coemale was not an ethnic conflict. Communist seen dead communist! Liberationist seen, liberationist dead! Trooper seen dead trooper! Seen Commander, commander dead! Collaborators
viewed each other, collaborators killed by one or another, Maya, Ladino, Xinca, foreigners, English ... This was the conflict.
The criminalization of genocide and crimes against humanity are more stringent and if not given the elements that typify do not exist as such by the huge and heinous that they can be the different crimes that were committed. The law is the law and the law must be enforced.

Several of these actions were committed by the Local Irregular Forces (IDF), ie non-permanent EGP combatants, "and Greg Grandin (Denied in full):" The Army has found that most of the villages have been abandoned before they reach the military.

Affirmation pitch marred by former commander Jorge Ismael Soto (FAR) "... the URNG will come to have about 6 or 7 thousand armed men" (elPeriódico 02/01/2004).

The amnesty extinguishes the criminal and civil liability, cancels and general criminal history because it acts on all those who committed the crime amnesty. Acts on the crime itself and not a pardon, which acts on the person, which is still guilty and background, although it will forgive the penalty.
In Spain, the transition required an amnesty enacted in July 1976, expanded in March 1977 andpoured into "total" in May 1977. It also has many precedents: in 1939 during the government of Franco in 1934 and 1936 during the second republic, and many earlier from Charles I in 1522 until 1930, after the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera.
have benefited Franco, communists, separatists, monarchists, republicans, right, left and so on.
healthy and convenient
This debate should not prevent that Guatemala ratified the Statute of the International Criminal Court and all other treaties that guarantee the applicability and proper prosecution of crimes against international law, and it is therefore necessary and fundamental refocus the debate, free of ignorance, folly and caprice.
against humanity in his offense, the elimination of all human beings. Of one ...
The definition of the law, however, is another and it should stick. I see that some people are not as sensitive to the abuse of life and who do not share my perception on this issue but who are made aware of a slaughter and estimate that in one or more massacres does exist a crime against humanity. Come, even genocide. However, it is not just the characterization of the law. I do not think that during the armed conflict no Maya has feared for his life by being Maya. Have had fear as a result of insurgent or counter militancy, his collaboration with one or other or because they simply between the two. Coemale was not an ethnic conflict. Communist seen dead communist! Liberationist seen, liberationist dead! Trooper seen dead trooper! Seen Commander, commander dead! Collaborators
viewed each other, collaborators killed by one or another, Maya, Ladino, Xinca, foreigners, English ... This was the conflict.
The criminalization of genocide and crimes against humanity are more stringent and if not given the elements that typify do not exist as such by the huge and heinous that they can be the different crimes that were committed. The law is the law and the law must be enforced.
Opinion: Impunity, SA (and 2) are the same as

By: Mario A. G. Merida
In this country nothing is valid unless it is supported by foreigners, so the researchers cite Yvon Le Bot (The war in Mayan lands): "... The guerrillas eliminated civilians, sometimes entire families, for a simple complaint, without any other form of process ... Several of these actions were committed by the Local Irregular Forces (IDF), ie non-permanent EGP combatants, "and Greg Grandin (Denied in full):" The Army has found that most of the villages have been abandoned before they reach the military.
When there is an abandoned village is supposed to have been supporting the EGP, and is destroyed. Ixil peasants estXC
now begin to come out to walk holding hands with the international community and certain related officials, demanding trials and sentences to their liking. Are the same as the question constantly invoke "report" of the HSC, which distorted trivial information as the number of guerrillas "... the few fighters could not compete in the military with the Army of Guatemala." Affirmation pitch marred by former commander Jorge Ismael Soto (FAR) "... the URNG will come to have about 6 or 7 thousand armed men" (elPeriódico 02/01/2004).
When the "secret" bear their historic responsibility and the sword of justice to strike right and left, perhaps understand what happened Guatemalansdo (1944-1996).

appeal is accepted the English jurisdiction to hear some of the facts claimed and, following an injunction in 2005, was extended to crimes of genocide and terrorism. In this context there was the visit of Judge Pedraz to Guatemala, Guatemalan colleague to conduct any investigation of statements from witnesses and defendants, as a result of a request previously accepted by this country. The result is known: Pedraz had returned after eight days because the judge failed to Guatemala, Alvarez, to conduct the proceedings. This ended up justifying the arrest warrant on July 7.
is not the intention of the article discussing whether or not defendants are responsible and the extent of such responsibility: this is a matter of trial and function of the juzgadores, if it prospers. The idea is to discuss some arguments in the media during the visit of Pedraz. The first appeals to nationalism argues epidermal foreign interference, through phrases such as: independence was consummated in 1821 (to be thought that the English judge would conduct the proceedings and not Guatemala). Another sought to delegitimize Pedraz, sowing doubt about his alleged political affiliation (favorable to the terrorist group ETA), regardless of whether the trial is six years in Spain, with ups and downs. No shortage of arguments about the political motivations (AVEMILGUA), forgetting that their motivation for starting processes are one thing (and may be political and therefore not distorting it), but other trials areProvided that there are crimes, judges comply with the law and ensuring due process.
The basic argument focused on who should not start trials abroad, they had courts in the country. And that is also the main argument of those who resorted to the English justice: the ineffectiveness of national. How can we demand others to trust the Guatemalan justice system, if the daily flood of media violence ignored, and how many cases committed during the civil war have been resolved, regardless of who is guilty? Justice and public must balance the real inequalities and ensure everyone the same opportunities. But in underdeveloped societies with weak states, the depth. How would the Chilean lawyer Eduardo Noboa (in the opinion given by an eminent lawyer Guatemala) "Justice is precarious, only judge the weak and fear the strong," therefore, "Criminal law is only for the poor." In Guatemala, the main defense strategy is not to argue the merits, but to prevent the trial there, which explains the use of universal jurisdiction. Would expect if the warrant has only a symbolic or allow the trial forward.

State Sued by disappearances
By: Hugo Alvarado
The state was sued in the Human Rights Commission, enforced disappearance during the armed conflict.
Relatives of the disappeared are asking the Commission to support the international claim against the State of Guatemala, in order eventually to a trial to condemn the policy of enforced disappearance.
With the support of the Myrna Mack Foundation, relatives of 20 victims of enforced disappearances in Guatemala asked the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) to admit an international complaint against the State of Guatemala, the systematic practice of this crime for the Conflictor internal armed conflict, particularly in the period 1983-1985, and the subsequent denial of justice, concealment and impunity.
The petition was filed in November 2005 and received the appropriate action. In June of 2006 just past, after having requested an extension in the delivery of international response to this demand, the State of Guatemala submitted to the Commission a report that does not undermine the foundations of the case brought against him by the 20 families Guatemalan and Myrna Mack Foundation.
The State simply to move a report on steps taken by the Public Ministry, the body responsible for criminal prosecution and criminal investigation management, whose research concludes que no progress in investigating the crime of enforced disappearance, the whereabouts of victims and potential perpetrators.
This report, in addition, suggests that the organs of justice remain ineffective in the treatment of cases of violation of human rights, as happened during the years of armed conflict, as happens even in modern times, part of the complaint to the Commission.
"Impunity remains a cloak harbors equally crimes against humanity committed in the past and the thousands of facts of common and organized crime, domestic violence, corruption and others, affecting Guatemalan society" , in the complaint.
Relatives of the disappearedios evidence, including the famous "Death Squad", a military intelligence document out detailing at least 183 cases of enforced disappearance and the fate that allegedly ran some of the victims: death under torture and extrajudicial death, refers the complaint.
Relatives of victims seek truth, justice and reparation.
Thus, this international condemnation is a form of reparation to the memory of victims of enforced disappearance, because through this action we remember the life that was cut and at the same time helping to rebuild a stage of history national.
The idea is to get into the American system of justice denied in the area locto, in order to force the state to take measures to prevent acts that have offended the world society to occur again.
The search for justice before the Commission is a path bound, by the organs of justice in Guatemala have not had the will nor the ability, over more than two decades, to determine the whereabouts of the disappeared clarify the incident and punish those responsible.
As has happened in cases of genocide and other crimes against humanity, in which it has resorted to universal justice, the relatives of the 20 victims of the Death Squad have been exhausted domestic remedies, given the overwhelming impunity obstructing the administration of justice in this and other mucof which occurred in March 1985.

Thus, since 1983, the actions of the intelligence turned to orchestrate campaigns against some secret underground organizations in the capital.
The unveiling of the so-called Military Journal May 20, 1999, 22 years later, sheds light on the sense.
is a military intelligence document dating from 1983 and is further evidence that Guatemala was orchestrated from the highest levels of the state structure, planned and developed a strategy of enforced disappearances in the urban areas during 1983 and 1985 against a specific sector of Guatemalan society identified as "internal enemy."
Of the 21 cases of this report, 20 are included in the Official Military remaining closely associated with it.
According to the CEH, during the internal armed conflict was a total of 61 thousand 648 human rights violations, of which 6 000 156 are cases of enforced disappearances, with the responsibilityables mainly Guatemalan security forces.
While the Draft Report of the Inter-Diocesan Recovery of Historical Memory (REMHI) registered a total of 3 000 893 victims of enforced disappearance, of which 3 000 244 (83.5%) were attributed to state forces (Army and paramilitary groups).
So far no case of enforced disappearance has been cleared by the Guatemalan justice system, including the 21 cases mentioned above.

ICIA, and Rios Montt is proud of his usual cynicism.
First, I must say that in other cases (like Chile), the amnesty has been ruled out and that, in light of international law, has been considered an eyesore. To apply the decree of amnesty for serious human rights violations or crimes against humanity, it would contradict and violate countless international agreements and declarations on Human Rights ratified by the Guatemalan state.
In Chile, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR) stated that "self-amnesty laws lead to the helplessness of the victims and perpetuate impunity and are therefore clearly incompatible with the letter and the loopitu of the American Convention.
This type of law prevents the identification of individuals responsible for human rights violations, as they hinder the investigation and access to justice and prevent the victims and their families know the truth and to receive appropriate compensation "(paragraph 43). The same Commission finds that: "Due to the manifest incompatibility of amnesty laws and the American Convention on Human Rights, the said laws lack legal effect and can not continue to obstruct the investigation of the facts which this case or the identification and punishment of those responsible ...

" But that applies only when countries are committed to comply. It is true that "the Constitution provides for the recognition of universal jurisdiction, requiring only that the agreement or treaty that provides for it to be approved by Congress." However, we must remember that although the Government of Guatemala has signed the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, UN, Congress has not approved it yet, nor has it ratified the President of the Republic. And the extradition treaty with Spain is clear. Arenales
