European Commission European Parliament European Goverments NGOs ... Trade and globalisation Guatemalan Government Must Take Stronger Stance Against Lynching - Says UN The increased incidence of lynching in Guatemala is a sign of the country's deteriorating human rights situation, says a new United Nations report which also urges the Guatemalan government to do more to stamp it out. The report, produced by the UN Verification Mission in Guatemala (MINUGUA), says the Government's response to the problem has so far been "very weak." The Mission notes that although the police have helped to spare the lives of many victims, lynching increased by 22 per cent from 2000 to 2001. MINUGUA calls on the Government to formulate a public policy to put a stop to lynching, and to ensure that all those responsible for the crime be prosecuted and punished. Overall, the Mission stresses, Guatemala must strive to strengthen a "culture of peace" through a civic education programme promoting human rights and the peaceful resolution of conflicts.

During meetings with senior military and police officials, Longan advises how to establish overt and covert operations in Guatemala, to include designing "frozen area plans" for police raids, setting up new road blocks within the capital, and creating a "safe house" in the Presidential Palace to centralize information gathered on the kidnappings. Longan also addresses the role of U.S. military advisors, the sale of U.S. supplies and equipment to the Guatemalan armed forces and Col.

The meeting, held at the request of the Guatemalan government, brought together senior members of the new Guatemalan government with individuals from around the world to discuss key issues related to reforming and restructuring the Guatemalan intelligence apparatus. It afforded the Guatemalan participants the opportunity to learn from the experience of others who have faced similar problems during transition, as well as those who have worked within more established intelligence agencies. In addition, they were able to gain valuable ideas and insights which will enable them to facilitate the anticipated reforms of the Guatemalan intelligence apparatus.

Advocacy/Campaigns Issue Update The Price of Nickel May 21, 2004 In northern Guatemala, the intrusive operations of nickel mining companies are posing a serious threat to Mayan communities. The El Estor Association for Integral Development (AEPDI), an Oxfam partner which has been working in the Izabal region in northeastern Guatemala since 1999, is on the doorstep of taking the case to the highest court of international law. by Kevin Pepper A young girl pauses on a trail in Caxlanpom in northern Guatemala, where illegal mining concessions threaten thousands of Mayans. Guatemala is exceedingly rich in metals, particularly those that fetch the highest prices on the metals market: gold, silver, copper, and nickel. There are currently more than 160 active mining concessions in Guatemala, granted by the Guatemalan government to foreign investors, chiefly Canadian and US nickel and gold mining companies, according to the Guatemalan Ministry for Energy and Mines. The Guatemalan government is pawning off their rich natural resources for clearance prices, and foreign investors can't buy up the land rights fast enough. Land is going for the bargain price of $120 per square kilometer for mineral exploration, and mining companies only have to pay a 1 percent royalty on their revenue.

Guatemala 1953-1954 While the world watched excerpted from the book Killing Hope by William Blum To whom does a poor banana republic turn when a CIA army is advancing upon its territory and CIA planes are overhead bombing the country? The leaders of Guatemala tried everyone-the United Nations, the Organization of American States, other countries individually, the world press, even the United States itself, in the desperate hope that it was all a big misunderstanding, that in the end, reason would prevail. Nothing helped. Dwight Eisenhower, John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles had decided that the legally-elected government of Jacobo Arbenz was "communist", therefore must go and go it did, in June 1954. In the midst of the American preparation to overthrow the government, the Guatemalan Foreign Minister, Guillermo Toriello, lamented that the United States was categorizing "as 'communism' every manifestation of nationalism or economic independence any desire for social progress, any intellectual curiosity, and any interest in progressive liberal reforms." The centerpiece of Arbenz's program was land reform. The need for it was clearly expressed in the all-too-familiar underdeveloped-country statistics: In a nation overwhelmingly rural, 2.2 percent of the landowners owned 70 percent of the arable land; the annual per capita income of agricultural workers was $87. Before the revolution of 1944, which overthrew the Ubico dictatorship, "farm laborers had been roped together by the Army for delivery to the low-land farms where they were kept in debt slavery by the landowners."

Mountainous, heavily forested and dotted with Mayan ruins, lakes, volcanoes, orchids and exotic birds, Guatemala is one of the most beautiful countries in Central America. Its indigenous population, the Maya, make up about half of the population and continue to speak Mayan languages and follow Mayan traditions. OVERVIEW FACTS LEADERS MEDIA Guatemala's beauty and strength of identity have not been accompanied by cohesion and prosperity. In 1996 the country emerged from a 36-year-long civil war in which more than 200,000 people were killed or disappeared. In spite of an official finding that 93% of all atrocities carried out during the war had been committed by the security forces, moves to bring those responsible to account started only after a long delay. Guatemalans live in one of the most iniquitous societies in the region. Poverty is particularly prevalent in rural areas and in indigenous communities. In 2001 the World Bank estimated that two-thirds of Guatemalan children were living in poverty.

The Commission recently released the results of their study. Of the roughly 150,000 people killed and 50,000 disappeared (and perhaps should be presumed dead) since the coup in 1954, the commission estimates that the Guatemalan government was responsible for 93% of the murders (either by the army, by paramilitary forces, or both) the rebels were responsible for 3%, and the remaining 4% are still unaccounted for. The mainstream press has always referred to the strife as a "civil war," but the proportions look more like a massacre. A similar report was issued by the Roman Catholic Church last April. The bishop responsible was killed two days later, presumably by government forces.

Guatemala Brazil Colombia Cuba Mexico ... guatemala Guatemala: A Brief History The Mayans of Guatemala and the surrounding regions had one of the most advanced civilizations of the ancient world. Their cities flourished across Central America, complete with remarkable pyramids, temples, observatories and libraries, and their scholars produced works of literature, philosophy, art and architecture. Particularly skilled in mathematics and astronomy, Mayan scientists developed a calendar more precise than that used by NASA even today. With the invasion of the Spanish Conquistadors in the early 1500s, the world of the Mayans, like all of the other Indigenous societies in the western hemisphere, came to a fiery and brutal end. Although medieval Europe was in many ways far less developed, the Conquistadors arrived with enormous military advantages: specifically, gun powder, steel swords, and horses. The Mayans fought valiantly on foot, with their obsidian spears and leather shields, but they suffered devastating losses. Within a few years, they had become slaves in their own homeland, deprived of their lands, their rights, and any political or social representation of any kind. Their libraries and cities were burned and sacked, and their religion and culture were banned. Throughout the hemisphere war, disease and slavery wiped out nearly 90% of the Indigenous population within a century. The Mayans have not accepted their fate lightly. A study of their history shows that in every generation since the invasion of the Spaniards, the Mayans have risen up in rebellion, armed only with rocks and machetes. Every generation, these slave revolts have been quickly crushed by the well armed forces of the oligarchy.

Bananas World Bank / IMF WTO FTAA Sweatshops ... bananas Guatemalan Rights Probe Tied To Trade Miami Herald March 10, 2001 By Jane Bussey The U.S. Trade Representative held hearings Friday on worker rights and union intimidation in Guatemala, a closely watched case that marks the first time the government office has initiated a probe that might result in suspending trade benefits. One of the reasons for the review are the issues that prompted the trial next week against perpetrators of an October 1999 violent intimidation of banana union leaders who worked for Bandegua, a unit of Fresh Del Monte Produce, a Miami company. Workers were protesting the dismissal of 900 workers in a company restructuring when 200 men broke up their meeting and forced the leaders and their families to flee. The USTR suspended a review of Guatemala's guarantees of labor rights in 1997, but recent problems triggered the current review, which is first time the USTR has ever initiated one on its own. During Friday's hearing, Guatemalan and U.S. human rights supporters urged U.S. authorities to suspend tariff benefits because of the government's failure to prosecute perpetrators of violence against trade union leaders and workers, particularly in the 1999 incident. Representatives of the Guatemalan government said the country has made significant strides to improve respect for workers rights since a 1996 peace process that ended a 30-year-old conflict with leftist rebels.
