In the last two years, a series of reform proposals have been debated regarding the constitutional reform of Guatemala’s judiciary. These constitutional reform proposals, which include a major overhaul of the election and composition of the Constitutional Court, the creation of a judicial supervisory organ and the recognition of indigenous justice, have been promoted by a foreign actor, the Comisión International Contra la Impunidad en Guatemala or the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG).
