Abstract

Former U.S. Ambassador Stephen McFarland has urged Guatemala’s Constitutional Court to protect democracy and the rule of law, in a brief filed on his behalf today by the Rule of Law Impact Lab at Stanford Law School (SLS). In August 2023, anti-corruption campaigner Bernado Arévalo and his party, Semilla, won the general elections in Guatemala. Since that time, however, legal maneuvers by the incumbent administration are apparently trying to prevent him and his party from taking office.
