The Peace Accords of 1996 brought an end
to 36 years of armed conflict in Guatemala, and signaled the
beginning of a complex and challenging process of
reconstruction and social reconciliation. A central plank of
the consensus expressed in the Peace Accords was the
overhauling of Guatemala's public institutions, which
were seen to exacerbate the social and economic injustices
that had contributed to the conflict. The Judicial Branch
was identified as one of the key state institutions, in a
position to create the necessary conditions to help a
divide, and diverse population emerge from decades of
conflict, social and economic exclusion, and mistrust in
public governance. A Bank-supported Judicial Modernization
Project is in its third year of implementation, and helping
in this process along with other donors (UNDP, Sweden,
Finland, the Inter American development Bank -IDB, Soros
Foundation and others). |
