WRITTEN QUESTION E-1889/02

by John Cushnahan (PPE-DE) to the Council

(1 July 2002)

Subject: Human rights intimidation

Is the Council aware of the increase in intimidation against members of the country’s human rights
community in Guatemala, including the recent assassination of Guillermo Ovalle de León, a member of the
human rights group Rigoberta Menchù?

Additionally, those defending the rights of endangered street children and children in jail have been
threatened at gunpoint.

What action will the Council take to ensure the protection of these human rights organisations so that
they can continue their investigations into the abuse of human rights?

Reply

(11 November 2002)

1.
The Council is aware of the deteriorating human rights situation in Guatemala and views with the
greatest concern the harassment, death threats and assaults directed against persons and organisations
working in the defence of human rights in Guatemala. The Council has repeatedly condemned these acts,
which impede progress in strengthening the rule of law, and has urged the government of Guatemala to
protect those targeted and have the incidents investigated, so that legal action can be taken to punish those
responsible. The specific case of the assassination of Guillermo Ovalle de Leòn was addressed in the
Council’s reply to Written Question E-1435/02.

2.
As already mentioned in that reply, in April the Council took the occasion of the fourth anniversary
of the murder of Bishop Gerardi to reiterate to the Guatemalan government its concern at the persistent
intimidation, threats and aggression suffered by members of human rights organisations, journalists and
law officers. Moreover, in May a démarche on behalf of the EU was made to the Vice President expressing
concern over human rights issues, notably the threats to those working in this field.
