GUATEMALA: OAS mission signals concern over judicial selection processes
A special mission of the Organization of American States (OAS) for the strengthening of democratic institutions in Guatemala recently paid a visit to the country to observe the selection processes due in 2026 in four key judicial institutions: the attorney general’s office, five-member electoral court (TSE), five-member constitutional court (CC), and comptroller general’s office (CGC). The mission’s visit was at the behest of left-of-centre reformist President Bernardo Arévalo, who took office in January 2024, but whose anti-corruption agenda has been held up by key figures such as Attorney General (AG) María Consuelo Porras, who has been blacklisted by the US, European Union, and other members of the foreign community.
