Derecho a la Justicia, 2001
Scope and Contents
Derecho a la Justicia[English title:A Right to Justice], shot by Guatemalan human rights advocate, Jesús Tecú Osorio, expands on the earlier Rights Alert "A Massacre Remembered". Following the struggle of the indigenous Maya Achi people of Guatemala to have the truth of the genocide in the early 1980s revealed, it includes footage of the recent trial of a few of the perpetrators. Detailing efforts to document the atrocities, and to secure justice through the prosecution of the masterminds of the massacres, it also includes sequences illustrating the impunity with which some perpetrators still act.
