CICIG: A new opportunity to end impunity? [extract]
The existence of clandestine apparatus and illegal security bodies The Comprehensive Agreement on Human Rights, signed between the Government of Guatemala and the guerrilla forces in 1994, elicited the commitment that illegal security bodies and clandestine apparatus would not exist, in order to avoid human rights abuses. With the signing of the Agreement, the government of Guatemala recognised that it was obliged to combat any sign of these groups. Nevertheless, the Myrna Mack Foundation (FMM) reports that with time and the absence of any purge of the security and intelligence services, their members maintained their organic and structural relation with State apparatus and continued to develop, increasing in power and extending their fields of action.
