Genocide as policy

Rights Action shares this information to broaden understanding of what countries of “the West” support and legitimize. There should be no surprise that the U.S., Canada and the West are support and legitimizing Israel’s genocide in Palestine.

Since 1994, Rights Action has helped document and denounce the role of “the West” - led by the U.S., with allies Britain, France, Israel, Germany & then military regimes in Chile, Argentina, Colombia - in supporting and legitimizing genocide in four Mayan regions of Guatemala, 1978-1983.

Genocide of Maya Achi people: Since 1994, Rights Action has supported a wide range of community-led projects in the Maya Achi region of Rabinal, Baja Verapaz, working directly with victim-survivors of the genocide planned and carried out there.

Cashing in on genocide

Our 2021 book TESTIMONIO-Canadian Mining in the Aftermath of Genocides in Guatemala ([link removed]) documents how the Canadian-led, global mining industry led a renewed weave of mining investment in Guatemala soon after the genocides.
