Did You Know?
> 2011 was the most violent year for human rights defenders in Guatemala since the end of the civil war. NISGUA's teams of on-the-ground international human rights monitors work to deter violence in communities, courtrooms and at public events. > Former dictator Efrain Rios Montt, who ruled during the bloodiest period of the war, is awaiting trial for genocide and crimes against humanity. > The Xalalá hydro-electric dam was rejected by 89% of participants in a local referendum because it could displace thousands of indigenous people and damage farmlands and forests. > Almost 400 mining concessions have been granted to transnational gold, silver, nickel, and zinc companies in Guatemala, posing severe threats to rural communities' social and environmental well-being. | ||||||||||||||

NISGUA Accompaniment and Advocacy for Trade and Globalization
NISGUA's growing Trade and Globalization Program builds upon years of grassroots mobilization and advocacy work to challenge CAFTA and other harmful U.S.-led economic policies. As the Guatemalan movement builds, we have also stepped up our efforts to support communities organizing to protect indigenous territories and community rights as large-scale mines and dams move forward.
