Since the Guatemala Project was restarted in 2003, the project has produced a Monthly Information Package detailing the team's activities, alongside a quarterly bulletin which deals in greater depth with the issues affecting Guatemalan human rights defenders. All regular publications are produced in both english and spanish.

What they say

"There are two privileges attached to a foreign passport in a conflict area. You can use it to board the next flight out of trouble. Or you can use it as a tool to help protect human rights."
