“Claudia Paz y Paz”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Paz y Paz has been praised for her aggressive prosecution of organized crime in Guatemala (resulting in a 9% drop in crime) and has subsequently received numerous threats against her life.^[2] She is also noted for her prosecution of human rights abuses, including high-profile cases against former president Efraín Ríos Montt, indicted for genocide in January, 2012, and against the perpetrators of the Dos Erres massacre, committed during the latter's dictatorship.^[3]^[4] In her tenure as Attorney General, Paz y Paz has earned a reputation as the most impassioned prosecutor Central America has seen since the war's end in the mid-1990s. She is the first-ever Guatemalan law enforcement official to have brought to justice prominent human rights abusers from Guatemala's civil war era.

Throughout the remainder of her term, Claudia Paz y Paz has set numerous records. More drug traffickers were arrested in the first six months of her term than in the previous decade. Under her leadership, five of Guatemala's 10 most wanted criminals were caught, and 10 times more cases of violence against women and of homicide were resolved than in any previous administration.^[5] "Claudia Paz y Paz has been a savior for Guatemala. We have seen sentences that we thought were never before possible in our country," said Blanca Hernández, a human rights advocate whose son was detained by security forces and never seen by his family again. "Now Rios Montt faces genocide charges. Her work has been incredible.” ^[6]

Paz y Paz is currently an active member of the Justice Leadership Initiative. She is also a Senior Fellow at the Washington Office on Latin America(WOLA). Paz y Paz is also a recipient of the WOLA 2014 Human Rights Award, which honors organizations or individuals who have been exemplary in WOLA's vision of a world where human rights and social justice are the foundation of public policy.^[7]
