Impunity Watch congratulates the Public Prosecutors Office and the Guatemalan justice system for bravely and consistently combating impunity for crimes of the past and present. In recent years, the Public Prosecutors Office has displayed considerable independence, capacity, and courage in investigating and prosecuting severe human rights violations committed against the civilian population during the internal armed conflict, and in applying national and international standards that penalize internationally significant crimes such as torture, forced disappearance, and genocide.
