Latin America
The International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala, or CICIG in Spanish, was launched three years ago at Guatemala's request to dismantle illegal security groups, many of them tied to the military and a legacy of the 1960-1996 civil war, and to end criminal impunity. It has also taken on rampant vigilante justice, which includes contract killings of criminals.
Things get curiouser and curiouser.
I wonder how long, before the U.N., if it is more than just another rubber stamping connection, nearly assuredly not, will say "Oh don't treat the bad guys that badly!"
