A/HRC/37/9 10. Since 2005, at the initiative of the Government, OHCHR in Guatemala had been in operation and its mandate had been renewed by the President of the Republic in September 2017. Guatemala was pleased that the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights was to visit Guatemala in November 2017. 11. The delegation highlighted the tripartite agreement that the Government, workers’ representatives and employers’ representatives had signed, which had resolved the complaint that had been brought under article 26 of the Constitution of the International Labour Organization (ILO). 12. In May 2014, the Public Policy for Coexistence and Elimination of Racism and Racial Discrimination and a policy on the institutionalization of entities with specialized mandates to address the rights of indigenous peoples had been approved. 13.

One example was a protocol for inter-agency coordination on protection and assistance for victims of human trafficking, which had been adopted in 2015. 14. Guatemala was immersed in a process of national reconciliation concerning enforced disappearances. There was a significant degree of approval in Congress for draft law 3590 on the creation of a national commission for the search for victims of enforced disappearance and other forms of disappearance, and for the ratification of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. 15.

Regarding the fight against impunity, the Anti-Corruption Division of the Public Prosecution Service had expanded, and was currently composed of 12 prosecutors’ offices, one of which was located within the Office of the Comptroller General. There had been an increase in the number of complaints regarding acts of corruption between 2012 and June 2017, and a total of 247 sanctions had been imposed during that period. 17. The Government had renewed the mandate of the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala for an additional two years in order to enable it to continue investigating parallel bodies and clandestine security organizations. Guatemala acknowledged the support that the International Commission had provided to the Public Prosecution Service and the National Civil Police in the transfer of capacities in the processes of investigation and criminal prosecution. 18.

As a result, 443,774 persons had been registered. 19.
