Our work in Guatemala
For almost four decades, the ICRC has been carrying out activities in the country to respond to the humanitarian consequences of violence, supporting the families of missing people to give them answers about the whereabouts of their loved ones and providing technical advice to the authorities.
The ICRC is currently focusing its humanitarian efforts on strengthening cooperation with the Guatemalan Red Cross and promoting international law, with the support of the regional delegation for Mexico and Central America.
The ICRC is neutral, impartial and independent in its humanitarian work.
ICRC offices supporting the region: Our work in Guatemala is supported by our regional delegation in Mexico, which also covers the ICRC’s humanitarian action in Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, Costa Rica and Belize. For more information, please visit the Mexico webpage.
