    The main purpose of the Report is to place on record Guatemala’s recent, bloody past. Although many are aware that Guatemala’s armed confrontation caused death and destruction, the gravity of the abuses suffered repeatedly by its people has yet to become part of the national consciousness.

These are neither perfidious allegations, nor figments of the imagination, but an authentic chapter in Guatemala’s history.
