GUATEMALA CITY (AP) - A newly created international council of experts will oversee and protect extensive police archives exposing atrocities committed during Guatemala's 36-year civil war, a top human rights official said Wednesday.
The official, Sergio Morales, said the so-called International Consultative Council will include archive specialists from Argentina, Uruguay and the U.S., including Kate Doyle of the Washington-based National Security Archive, a private, nonpartisan research group.
"We want the archive to last so that anyone with interest in knowing what happened to their families can come in the future and investigate," Morales said.
