El Salvador
The Attorney General accused Judge Ricardo Canales Herrera of misappropriation, through negligence, of approximately $20,000 (185,000 colones). Canales had reported the loss of the money from his court's evidence storage room to the Attorney General and the Supreme Court and had requested the Court's help in strengthening security. The Court asserted that the judge had adequate infrastructure for storing the money securely. Canales renounced his immunity in October to expedite the investigation, and the Supreme Court dismissed him in November. Canales filed a complaint against the Supreme Court asserting that, in dismissing him, it had violated guarantees of due process and of equal protection under the laws. Presenting newspaper reports as evidence, he noted that there had been a multitude of losses from storerooms of other courts--including the Supreme Court itself--during the year, but no other judge had been investigated or disciplined. He maintained that the Court was using this i ... [Read More]

Embajada de Estados Unidos en Guatemala - CAFTA - Tratado Libre Comercio CAUSA
Queda claro que cada vez los lazos de cooperación y de comunicación entre todas las partes que estamos participando deben estrecharse. El espíritu con el que acogimos estas discusiones debe llevarse a un plano mayor y el cronograma de trabajo debe ser la ruta crítica para adelantar nuestras conversaciones. De manera que lo que tenemos es una Ronda que ha cumplido con lo que ofreció llevar a cabo, tenemos un plan concreto de trabajo para lo que será la siguiente Ronda, y eso significa que el TLCAUSA o CAFTA va a pleno vapor de aquí en adelante. Y el plan que nos hemos propuesto los seis gobiernos-países participantes, lo vamos a cumplir. Sin duda se me están quedando algunas cosas fuera, pero no quiero seguir en el uso de la palabra, de manera que todos aquí en la mesa podamos también dirigirnos directamente a ustedes y así en el orden quisiera a la Sra. Vargo pedir por favor que haga uso de la palabra.1 ... [Read More]
US Embassy Guatemala City - CAFTA - Central America Free Trade Agreement
REGINA VARGO: I don't see them as an obstacle at all. The operative obligation in this area that we are looking at inside the agreement, which reflects a compromise reached in the United States from various parties interested in this topic, is to have each government enforce its own labor laws. This both respects sovereignty and at the same time, it suggests that these areas are ones that do bear a relationship to trade and should be respected. I would like to comment that while I was here in Guatemala, I had an opportunity to see a well-run sugar plantation and a well-run textile, actually apparel plant, and I did not see the observance of a safe workplace, a concern for the workers and the environment as being a hindrance to a competitive operation. And I think in fact that that is the goal that Central America should be striving for.1 ... [Read More]
