Members of Chichupac Village and Neighboring Communities of the Municipality of Rabinal v. Guatemala

This case is about the murder of hundreds of members of the village of Chichupac and neighboring communities of the municipality of Rabinal, in central Guatemala, between 1981 and 1982, the most intense and murderous phase of the 1962-1996 internal conflict. The State admitted partial responsibility and the Court found the State in violation of most articles of the American Convention, both for the events themselves and the subsequent failure to investigate, punish and remedy.
