If the government of El Salvador is to succeed in facing the challenge of gang violence and organized crime, and generate sustained economic growth that benefits all Salvadorans, it will have to overcome the\u00a0weaknesses of its criminal justice system<\/strong>\u00a0and demonstrate its ability to\u00a0enforce the law without fear or favor. One major test of the criminal justice system’s competence will be the successful\u00a0prosecution of long-standing human rights cases<\/strong>, including the Jesuit killings, the massacres at El Mozote and the Rio Sumpul, and the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There has been renewed interest in these cases in recent months, both in El Salvador and internationally. The movement has emboldened victims and their families and\u00a0has put the criminal justice system, especially the attorney general, to the test<\/strong>. Please join us for an update on the status of these key human rights cases and the capacity of El Salvador’s criminal justice system to respond.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
