US embassy cable - 04GUATEMALA1783

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: TIER 2 WATCH LIST PLAN FOR GUATEMALA 
 
REF: STATE 154857 
 
1.  On July 16, Charge met with Vice Foreign Minister Marta 
Altolaguirre to discuss progress in fighting trafficking in 
persons, and what Guatemala can do to improve its standing on 
the Tier 2 Watch List.  Charge delivered all the points in 
reftel,  and Altolaguirre took careful notes of each.  Charge 
also left a copy of the Watch List Action Plan. 
Altolaguirre, who chairs Guatemala's interagency anti-TIP 
working group, was receptive to the actions recommended and 
noted that they reflected programs the GOG has already begun. 
 She shared with Charge a matrix of specific actions and 
responsibilities among GOG agencies that is the basis of 
Guatemala's anti-TIP plan.  Altolaguirre assured Charge that 
the GOG completely shares our goals and is fully committed to 
working with us and other nations to fight TIP.  She noted 
that lack of resources, especially to care for and protect 
victims of TIP, remains a serious constraint for Guatemala.
