Summary

Condemns political killings and disappearances in Guatemala and the Guatemalan Government's failure to stem human rights abuses. Declares that: (1) Guatemala should not receive military assistance until the government exercises control over the security forces and human rights abuses have ended; and (2) withheld military assistance and economic assistance should be used to support civilian institutions in Guatemala. Calls upon the Guatemalan Government to investigate and bring to justice those implicated in human rights abuses and to appoint a commission to investigate disappearances. Commends President Bush and the Secretary of State for taking specific actions with respect to Guatemala and urges the Bush Administration to continue monitoring human rights in Guatemala. Supports negotiations by the Guatemalan National Reconciliation Commission and the Guatemalan National Revolutionary Union and calls upon the government and the military to facilitate and strengthen this process.
