Summary
: 
The bloody civil wars of the 1980s saw Central America emerge from the shadows of history to enjoy a brief hour in the media sun. But one country seemed always to elude the regional spotlight. Today Guatemala is still one of the world's most flagrant violators of human rights. The tragedy of Guatemala continues to unfold as negotiations to end thirty years of civil war drag on.
