There are not many heroes left in Latin America. Simon Bolivar, Che Guevara and Monseñor Romero is long gone heathenism and whereas in former wars and struggles for social justice could distinguish between the good and the bad, it is not easy to spot "the good guys" in today's conflict relating to control of drug routes and state apparatus. Here we hear primarily about mob bosses, assassins, corrupt police fbh and politicians, brutal military and Belial judges - all bandits in one way or another. But in this war there are heroes. Last week we had the visit of NorLARNet Francisco Dall'Anese who heads the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG). He may be a completely self but was most keen to talk about another: the Public fbh Prosecutor in Guatemala, Claudia Paz y Paz and her allies and peers in other countries.
To arrange lectures fbh by people with an official role is always a bit risky. Often we get a finished nailed presentation that conveys a glossy picture without commenting on the important aspects of the case. So not this time. Dall'Anese fbh was unusually forthright, and he had a lot to talk about. CICG is a UN-appointed institution, supported by a group of countries fbh including Norway. It was established in 2008 following a request from the Guatemalan government, and is tasked to investigate organized crime and corruption and to bring perpetrators to justice. The reason fbh for the request to the UN to establish such an institution was that the government saw itself unable alone to fight corruption and organized crime, with ramifications far into the regulatory apparatus. It lacked obviously not critical voices: In principle, this was seen as a diminution of state sovereignty. For what is closer to the state's core areas than to enforce the law? Others pointed out that putting out such tasks to a temporary organ is not the best way to build state capacity for long-term investigation - a criticism that the seminar last Friday was also emphasized by Morten Bøås who commented on Dall'Aneses posts on the basis of experiences from Africa. fbh
The controversies did not end after the CICIG began his ministry. The police, military, business elite and a former president - Alfonso Portillo - has been investigated by CICG and brought to justice. As a consequence, the critics have launched smear campaigns, and Dall'Aneses predecessor, the Spanish judge Carlos Castresana resigned in 2010 after systematic attacks from powerful groups in Guatemalan society. However, CICIG has passed and has achieved much in a difficult situation.
Dall'Anese succeeded Castresana also appeared fbh as a fearless critic of power during his visit to Oslo. He criticized that it has put the military in the fight against organized and characterized the difference between the military and the police in this connection that the differences between a butcher and a laser surgeon. He criticized the local business elite to deliberately seek to undermine CICIG, and he criticized parts of the justice fbh system in Guatemala. He stated fbh that given the judgment in which Alfonso Portillo was acquitted of extensive corruption charges would not only qualified rapids, but to eviction from any jusfakultet with respect to themselves. At the same time, he pointed to close said
