The EU notes that there has been a de facto moratorium on the use of the death penalty in Guatemala, with the last execution taking place in 2000, and that a previous attempt to reintroduce capital punishment was vetoed by President Colom in 2008.
EL märgib, et Guatemalas on surmanuhtluse kasutamise suhtes kehtinud de facto moratoorium, viimane hukkamine toimus 2000. aastal, ja et eelmise katse taaskehtestada surmanuhtlus vetostas president Colom 2008. aastal.
