There are a large number of events planned to mark the passing of ten years since the signing of the Peace Accords in Guatemala. We recently received an extrememly comprehensive report from Orlando Blanco of the International Centre for Human Rights Investigations (CIIDH).

The report, which was begun in 2003, was presented formally by DESCGUA, CONGCOOP and CIIDH on the International Human Rights Day (10-12-2006). The report looks at the current situation in Guatemala of economic, social and cultural rights almost ten years since the signing of the accords. Specifically, it looks at wide ranging issues including: housing, poverty, food security, domestic violence, land reform, health, education, social security and work.
