Did You Know?
> Attacks against human rights defenders in Guatemala have doubled over the last five years. NISGUA's teams of on-the-ground international human rights monitors work to deter violence in communities, courtrooms and at public events. > Former dictator Efrain Rios Montt, who ruled during the bloodiest period of the war, currently holds a seat in the Guatemalan Congress. He is wanted for genocide and crimes against humanity. > The Xalalá hydro-electric dam is rejected by 90% of the local population because it would displace thousands of indigenous people and damage farmlands and forests. > Almost 400 mining concessions have been granted to transnational gold, silver, nickel, and zinc companies in Guatemala, posing severe threats to rural communities' social and environmental well-being. | ||||||||||||

NISGUA Advocacy for Justice and Accountability
Through our Justice and Accountability Program, NISGUA employs strategic, creative, and coordinated grassroots activism and advocacy to pursue justice for human rights violations in Guatemala. We provide information and strategic analysis to our grassroots network and organizational partners to monitor precedent-setting human rights cases and advocate on behalf of Guatemalans working to prosecute those responsible for genocide and other war crimes. We develop in-depth analysis and disseminate electronic, print, and verbal information about the political context in Guatemala and the ongoing struggle to end impunity.
