The National Congress of Guatemala adopted this week the “Law on the National Service of Judicial Facilitators,” which sets out the objectives, organization, structure and operation of the National Service of Judicial Facilitators (SNFJ, by its Spanish acronym), a flagship program of the OAS.
Secretary General Luis Almagro said that the strengthening of Facilitators in Guatemala “is a step towards bringing justice to every corner of the Americas, and one more demonstration that this is a great OAS program, which meets our objective to bring more rights to more people.”
The adoption of the Law was based on the positive impact that the Service has had, since its inception in 2012, throughout Guatemala. Judicial facilitators are leaders in their communities, selected by the people who voluntarily cooperate by informing the public on laws, providing advice, assisting with procedures, and performing mediations.
Since 2012, Guatemala’s Judiciary has appointed and trained 1,458 judicial facilitators—of whom 41 percent are women—who have provided 8,327 access to justice services; 23,248 conflict prevention and mediation services; and 6,670 mediations, thus freeing the conventional justice system and promoting dialogue as a means for conflict resolution.
El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Paraguay, and Argentina are other countries in the region, such as Guatemala, that have implemented the Service with the technical assistance of the OAS Inter-American Judicial Facilitators Program.
