Title: Conclusiones y recomendaciones, Guatemala memoria del silencio
Body: From: "F&G Editores" Comisión para el Esclarecimiento Histórico. Conclusiones y recomendaciones, Guatemala memoria del silencio. Prólogo de Edelberto Torres-Rivas. Guatemala: F&G Editores, 2004. xxvi + 136 págs. 12.6 x 20.2 cms. ISBN: 99922-61-29-3. US$ 8.50. Q50.00. En 1999 la Comisión para el Esclarecimiento Histórico hizo público el informe Guatemala, memoria del silencio; en el cual se presenta la historia de acontecido durante más de tres décadas de guerra interna en Guatemala. Por su extensión, doce tomos, la difusión del informe ha quedado reducida a círculos académicos y políticos especializados. Con el propósito de contribuir a una difusión más amplia de los aspectos medulares del informe, F&G Editores publica este volumen que incluye los capítulos IV y V del Informe, “Conclusiones” y “Recomendaciones”. En el prólogo a esta edición el Dr. Edelberto Torres-Rivas, señala que: “La publicación de las Conclusiones y Recomendaciones de la Comisión de Esclarecimiento Histórico es una ofensiva contra el silencio cómplice que practica la sociedad guatemalteca, es un intento de detener esa oscura estrategia de los victimarios que enfatizando las virtudes del olvido no quieren que los guatemaltecos asumamos nuestra historia. Publicitar la verdad es oportuno porque recuerda los inenarrables actos de barbarie que los militares cometieron contra la nación guatemalteca, especialmente en su sector humano más vulnerable, la población indígena”. Arriba Contenido: Prólogo: Sobre la verdad, el dolor, la justicia y el miedo (Edelberto Torres-Rivas) Prólogo de Guatemala memoria del silencio Agradecimientos Introducción Capítulo cuarto: Conclusiones I. La tragedia del enfrentamiento armado interno II. Las violaciones de los derechos humanos y los hechos de violencia y sus responsables III. Paz y reconciliación Capítulo quinto: Recomendaciones I. Introducción II. Medidas para preservar la memoria de las víctimas III. Medidas de reparación IV. Medidas orientadas a fomentar una cultura de respeto mutuo y de observancia de los derechos humanos V. Medidas para fortalecer el proceso democrático VI.
