Peace Accords of 1996

The Peace Accords of 1996 were agreements aimed at ending a 36-year civil war in Guatemala between the government and various guerrilla groups. The accords addressed issues like human rights, land reform, and political representation for marginalized groups, seeking to promote peace and rebuild the nation. They established a framework for social and economic improvements, aimed at reconciling a divided society and addressing injustices. Though the accords were a significant step towards peace, challenges in implementation and ongoing social issues have persisted in Guatemala since then.
