Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Human Rights and Access to Justice in Guatemala: Former Attorney General of Guatemala

2:45 pm

Mr. Niall O'Keeffe:

In general, Trócaire has been working on human rights issues in Guatemala for more than 20 years in response to the conflict which existed in the mid-1980s. It is similar to other countries, where we have been working on human rights issues, such as Rwanda, and the past few years in Kenya and Palestine. Human rights issues and engaging in supporting local activists, human rights defenders, is an important part of what we do. My colleague, Ms Blanco, can speak about our programme in detail.
