Remarks by James A. Goldston, executive director of the Open Society Justice Initiative, in Guatemala City on June 26, 2014, at the public launch of an assessment of reforms at Guatemala’s Public Ministry, carried out by the Centro de Estudios de Justicia de las Américas (CEJA).

Guatemala piloted reforms of its prosecutorial system in 2009 in the district of Quetzaltenango en 2009, under former Attorney General Amílcar Velásquez.

This work was later expanded under attorney-general Claudia Paz y Paz, in office from December 2010 to May 2014.
