The International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala (ICAIG) was created on the 12th of December 2006 through an agreement with the UN and the Guatemalan government, after a favourable ruling by the Constitutional Court. The agreement was approved later by the Guatemalan National Congress on the 1st of August 2007.
The ICAIG was established as an independent international body with the intention of supporting the Public Ministry, the national police force and other state institutions, in their endeavours to investigate crimes committed by members of illegal organisations and clandestine security structures, to dismantle and charge these groups, and to strengthen institutions.
