The Guatemala Human Rights Commission/USA is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, humanitarian organization founded in 1982 to monitor, document, and report on the human rights situation in Guatemala.
GHRC/USA promotes advocacy for and aid to victims of human rights violations. To this end, GHRC/USA has conducted on-site investigations of specific Guatemalan cases, organized briefings and speaking tours for activists, and led educational delegations to Guatemala.
GHRC/USA also publishes the bi-weekly Guatemala Human Rights UPDATE, an eight-page summary of recent human rights news, and periodically issues urgent actions and special reports. Staff members provide vital information for political asylum cases, including expert witness testimony.
Currently, GHRC/USA is also working on a campaign, For Women's Right to Live, to pressure the Guatemalan government to investigate the over 2,500 brutal murders of women since 2000, and to stem future violence.
