Urge Congress to Maintain Ban on US Military Aid to Guatemala
In 1990, the US Congress instituted a ban on military training (IMET) and military aid (FMF) to Guatemala. Since that time, Amnesty International has actively supported the ban, given the Guatemalan government’s lack of compliance with key military reform provisions elaborated in the landmark 1996 Peace Accords. The Department of State has formally requested that the US Congress lift the ban. Please join AIUSA in urging Congress to maintain the ban on US military aid to Guatemala.
