The Guatemalan Genocide Case

The 2008 Election from Latin America

Latin American views on the U.S. presidential election:
- Roberto Guareschi (Buenos Aires): "Latin America on the Brink." (Now available en español!)
- Javier Couso (Santiago, Chile), with a "View from the Southern Cone."
- Daniel Coronell (Bogotá, Colombia) gives "A View from the Andes." (En español)

In the early 1980s, Guatemala’s human rights abuses reached genocidal proportions. Professor Beatriz Manz has provided expert testimony before Congressional committees and asylum judges, written opinion pieces for such papers as The New York Times and The International Herald Tribune and, more recently, provided expert testimony before the National Court in Madrid, Spain, which is considering genocide charges against several Guatemalan military officers.
