GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala (AP) Nobel Peace Prize winner Rigoberta Menchu said Saturday that she will join the new Guatemalan government to help oversee compliance with U.N.-brokered peace accords that ended a 36-year civil war. President Oscar Berger invited Menchu to join the government Thursday, a day after he was inaugurated. Her role has not been defined, but sources close to the new president say she will be "goodwill ambassador to the peace accords." Menchu, meeting with Berger's wife, Wendy Widmann de Berger, on Saturday, said she "would like to play this role and offer to Guatemala all the contacts of friendship that many communities have given me." The accords lay out ways to reduce the role of the military in government and promote social and economic equality. The recommendations were largely ignored by Alfonso Portillo, president from 2000 until Wednesday.

Extractions: The Guatemala 1954 Documents These documents, including an instructional guide on assassination found among the training files of the CIA's covert "Operation PBSUCCESS," were among several hundred records released by the Agency on May 23, 1997 on its involvement in the infamous 1954 coup in Guatemala. After years of answering Freedom of Information Act requests with its standard "we can neither confirm nor deny that such records exist," the CIA has finally declassified some 1400 pages of over 100,000 estimated to be in its secret archives on the Guatemalan destabilization program. (The Agency's press release stated that more records would be released before the end of the year.) An excerpt from the assassination manual appears on the Op-Ed page of The New York Times on Saturday, May 31, 1997. The small, albeit dramatic, release comes more than five years after then CIA director Robert Gates declared that the CIA would "open" its shadowy past to post-cold war public scrutiny, and only days after a member of the CIA's own historical review panel was quoted in the New York Times as calling the CIA's commitment to openness "a brilliant public relations snow job." (See Tim Weiner, "C.I.A.'s Openness Derided as a 'Snow Job'," The New York Times, May 20, 1997, p. A16) Arbenz was elected President of Guatemala in 1950 to continue a process of socio- economic reforms that the CIA disdainfully refers to in its memoranda as "an intensely nationalistic program of progress colored by the touchy, anti-foreign inferiority complex of the 'Banana Republic.'" The first CIA effort to overthrow the Guatemalan presidenta CIA collaboration with Nicaraguan dictator Anastacio Somoza to support a disgruntled general named Carlos Castillo Armas and codenamed Operation PBFORTUNEwas authorized by President Truman in 1952. As early as February of that year, CIA Headquarters began generating memos with subject titles such as "Guatemalan Communist Personel to be disposed of during Military Operations," outlining categories of persons to be neutralized "through Executive Action"murderor through imprisonment and exile. The "A" list of those to be assassinated contained 58 namesall of which the CIA has excised from the declassified documents.

Extractions: Guatemala's 1985 constitution provides for a separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government. The 1993 constitutional reforms included an increase in the number of Supreme Court justices from 9 to 13. The terms of office for president, vice president, and congressional representatives were reduced from 5 years to 4 years; for Supreme Court justices from 6 years to 5 years, and increased the terms of mayors and city councils from 21/2 to 4 years. The president and vice president are directly elected through universal suffrage and limited to one term. A vice president can run for president after 4 years out of office. Supreme Court justices are elected by the Congress from a list submitted by the bar association, law school deans, a university rector, and appellate judges. The Supreme Court and local courts handle civil and criminal cases. There also is a separate Constitutional Court.

Voters went to the polls to elect a new President (and Vice-President), a new legislature (deputies for the unicameral Congreso de la República ), municipal governments, and Guatemala's deputies to the Central American Parliament. The ruling Republican Front of Guatemala nominated former military ruler Efraín Ríos Montt to succeed outgoing president Alfonso Portillo Cabrera. Ríos Montt's human rights record from his time in power (1982-83) led to strong opposition from both inside and outside the country. In the first round of voting, Ríos Montt came third behind the centrist mayor of Guatemala City, Óscar Berger, and the left-wing candidate Álvaro Colom. Click the link for more information.

Guatemala's Government Accused Of Cover-Up

http://www.pcusa.org/pcnews/oldnews/1998/98236.htm

Extractions: Ecumenical News International GUATEMALA CITY Accusing the authorities of engaging in a cover-up, Guatemalas Roman Catholic leaders have broken off communication with government officials investigating the murder of Bishop Juan Gerardi on April 26. Theres a cover-up going on, declared Ronalth Ochaeta, director of the Human Rights Office of the Catholic Archdiocese of Guatemala. If were going to have peace, we cant have impunity. Those are two conflicting values. Ochaeta made the statement on July 14 in Madrid, where he and Gerardo Flores, bishop of Cobán in central Guatemala, met Bishop Juan José Asenjo, general secretary of the Spanish Bishops Conference. Ochaeta and Bishop Flores are briefing government and church officials across Europe about the lack of progress in the investigation of the brutal murder of Bishop Gerardi. Juan Gerardi, auxiliary bishop of Guatemala City and founder of the archdiocesan human rights office, was murdered two days after releasing a 1,400-page report on Guatemalas 36-year civil war. The report, Guatemala: Never Again! blamed the countrys military for almost 90 percent of the wars 150,000 deaths and 50,000 disappearances. Bishop Gerardi had frequently denounced the military for human rights violations and involvement in drug trafficking, car theft and kidnapping.
