GUATEMALA CITY — Guatemala’s president said Monday that the U.S. inability to deal with its drug consumption problem is leaving Central America with no option but to consider legalizing drugs.
President Otto Perez Molina said he wants a consensus before going forward with the idea for the region, which has become a major transit points for U.S.-bound drugs from South America and has been overrun by organized crime and Mexican drug cartels.
A digital archive featuring millions of images and documents from the National Police of Guatemala could help people searching for family and friends who have disappeared, said Karen Engle, law professor and co-director and founder of the Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice.
