Scientists and Human Rights in Guatemala: Report of a Delegation

Committee on Human Rights,National Academy of Sciences and Committee on Health and Human Rights,Institute of Medicine

Roughly, 40 thousand people have been killed or made to disappear for political reasons in Guatemala during the last 30 years. Despite vows and some genuine efforts by the current government, human rights abuses and political killings continue. Scientists and Human Rights in Guatemala presents a history of the violence and the research findings and conclusions of a 1992 delegation to Guatemala. The focus of the book is on the human rights concerns and the responses of the government and military authorities to those concerns. Background and status of an investigation into the political murder of an eminent Guatemalan anthropologist is presented, along with an overview of the impact of the repression on universities, research institutions, and service and human rights organizations.
