Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract This article describes the relationship between organized criminal networks and the peace process in Guatemala, the growth of illicit groups after the signing of the accords, and the response of UN and other international actors to that growth. It argues that both the UN and donors demonstrated a mixed, but ultimately very limited, ability to influence Guatemalan policy and institutional efforts to combat organized crime and illicit groups. Nevertheless, the Guatemala experience reveals several areas where the UN might help states to combat the emergence of political-criminal structures where it has deployed a peace operation or offered its good offices to help a state avoid threats to peace and stability.
