CICIG - International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala

Published purpose

CIDA’s institutional support to the International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG) aims to contribute to increasing the rule of law in Guatemala, thereby reducing impunity and homicide rates. In order to do so, CICIG seeks to strengthen the Government of Guatemala’s capacity to: investigate and prosecute organized crime, conduct criminal investigations, act as a complementary prosecutor in criminal prosecutions, and propose improvements to the legislative framework to better fight organized crime. CICIG also aims to inform all sectors of the Guatemalan society on its mandate and successes through the elaboration and distribution of communication materials, regular meetings, and public events.
