Human Rights and Access to Justice in Guatemala: Former Attorney General of Guatemala
2:55 pm
Dr. Claudia Paz y Paz Bailey:
I wish the Deputy spoke Spanish; perhaps Ms Blanco will help me with my reply. Perhaps I did not emphasise the role of the European Union, which has been very supportive. It has provided €20 million to strengthen the judicial system, and I ask for this to continue. I also ask the European Union to monitor abuses of human rights defenders, to monitor the independence of the judiciary, and to support politically and financially the International Commission against Impunity.
