Commission for Historical Clarification
The Commission for Historical Clarification was the truth commission created under the Guatemalan peace accords to investigate human rights violations during the civil war of 1960–1996. Its report, Guatemala: Memory of Silence, presented in 1999, estimated that more than 200,000 people had been killed or disappeared, attributed 93 per cent of the documented violations to state forces and found that acts of genocide had been committed against Maya groups.
