= Article evaluation "placebo studies" = So for the article I read that was titled the "placebo studies". This article revolves around the effects of placebo. While going over this articleand analyzing it I do feel as if the information that was supplied in the article was outdated. Even though the information that was provided in the article was relevant to the article topic it was revolved around data that was provided during the 1950's time period. If there was graphs and charts that went with the arguments that were provided in the article, I feel as it will added a better dynamic for the article. The article has good sub-sections by providing a background and clinical experiment that went along with the studies. After reviewing if the link were still available and active I found that some of the information is only ten years old. While reading I did not notice any bias that was being represented in the article.

Human rights in Guatemala
When it comes to explaining why I chose Guatemala, I would have to say it had to do a lot about my mom. The reason why I connected this to my mother is because she grew up close to Guatemala. My mom was born and raised in Belize a small country next to Guatemala. For me choosing thing article I feel as if I will be able to have a better understanding of some issues that could have affected my mom since they are neighboring countries. I also wanted to get a better understanding of countries around Belize.

The second reason for me to pick this country because I was planning on going to Guatemala earlier this year. I wanted to travel to this country to volunteer with a non-profit organization that dealt with medical aspect of some regions in Guatemala. A few examples are helping teach the kids about healthcare and helping out at hospitals and clinics. I still do plan on going to Guatemala in the near future so i feel as this project will help me gather a better insight of Guatemala during my research journey.

When it comes to what I can bring to my article stub? I feel as if I can go into more detail of the trial that occurred in 2016 with the disappearance of around 130 people. I feel as if this is a crucial case that is not talked about enough on here. The sources that were provided were good sources I just think that the person unfortunately did not have enough time to add all the little details for that specific case. I also hope to find other cases while on my research journey to use for the article to give this small article stub a little more depth.

The main purpose of this academic journal is to help provide factual against Guatemala human rights violations that have been occurring recently. As I started reading the article I have found many different examples of how the humans rights in Guatemala has been comprised. One of the many examples that I could find is how the government has become so corrupt that they have begin taking high Status officials out of power. The main case I will focus on is the creompaz case. This is a crucial case that highlights how the military during the war violated citizens human rights.

Human right Case


 * Creompaz case where 18 former military officials were arrested for their involvement in kidnappings and in mass massacres
 * two former military officers were involved in the disappearance of 15 Male villagers and systematic rape of 11 Q’eqchi’ women.

Corruption in Office


 * the use of presidency to repress political protest against the government
 * one of the biggest offenders Efraín Ríos Montt on charges of genocide. Has yet to be sentenced to prison because he is technically mentally unfit.

= Human rights in Guatemala = Human rights is an issue in Guatemala. The establishment of the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala has helped the Attorney General prosecute extrajudicial killings and corruption. There remains widespread impunity for abusers from the Guatemalan Civil War, which ran from 1960 to 1996, and Human Rights Watch considers threats and violence against unionists, journalists and lawyers a major concern.

A trial for eight former Army members on charges related to the alleged disappearances of 130 people whose bodies were found among 550 at a base now run by the UN called CREOMPAZ has been stalled since it began in 2016 due to witness intimidation, among other factors.

History ( I will be adding a section that is focused on history that revolves around the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala)

 * The International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala was established in December 12, 2005
 * After years of Human rights violation in Guatemala they began leading towards creating a established organization that investigated the many variety of cases that were left unsolved.
 * There was a instance where their were over 6,000 homicides per year in Guatemala. Most of them involved the deaths of women and children.
 * I will also add the first draft of the organization they tried to create and why they had to make revisions in order to establish the organization
 * CICIG is only in power for two years after that such time they must renew and during the time while it is in power they have the right to recommend rules to public that will better provide help to keep the citizens safe.

History
After an ongoing war for over 36 years in Guatemala they were transitioning into becoming a more stable and established country. Years following the war corruption began appearing all around the country eventually ingulfing the whole country with common crimes and chaos. During this period there was roughly 6,000 homicides per year in Guatemala. These violent killings included a big portion of women and children deaths. While Guatemala was fighting towards ending the corruption it was discovered that there were many high-level government officials that were involved in the organized crimes. This correlated into only about 2% of the violent crimes going to trial. This occurred because presidency was used to repress the political protest against the government. Which caused citizens to not fight back the corruption occurring in Guatemala. The president, Vice president, and other high officials lost their power and were prosecuted for participation in human rights violation. The biggest offender was Efraín Ríos Montt, he was the president of Guatemala. Montt has received charges on the account of genocide. He was convicted of the charges and was sentenced to 80-85 years in jail but this was soon over turned. During this second trial Efrain Rios Montt died on April 1, 2018 at the age of 91.

International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala
This organization was first established in December 12, 2005. This organization was created after the realization that there were over 6,000 homicides occurring each year. This caused the government of Guatemala to seek out help to help regulate and stop the human rights violations that were occurring. After years of Human rights violation in Guatemala they began leading towards creating an established organization that investigated the many variety of cases that were left unsolved. After getting the assistance from the United Nations they formulated an organization called Commission of Investigation of Illegal Bodies and Clandestine Security Apparatuses (CICIACS). This organization was soon denied because the creation of this organization caused a controversy in Guatemala, which resulted in it being denied because the ruling deemed it to be a violation of the exclusive constitutional delegation of power to the Public Ministry. After the denial the government of Guatemala revised the document and the regulation of the CICIACS to eliminate all the unconstitutional issues that was brought to their attention from the constitutional court. When they were finished they re-introduced the proposition to the court and after the review the Constitutional court approved it. After they renamed it International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG). The government of Guatemala and the United nations signed it into order on December 12, 2005. Peer Review #1

Your contribution was extremely informative and easy to read, good job! You only need minor things to help make it perfect. One thing is to make sure you watch for capitalization. For example, you capitalized Vice but not President in the first paragraph. Also, just to make the sentences run a little smoother, just go in and add some comas so it wont seem like you sentences are run on. Overall, outstanding job!! (Kayla Tardy PR - Accidentally erase by U'Ronnie)

peer review: lots of good detail and a very intersting subject you are working on. i think that the international commission againt impunity in guatemala is your article but it could be clearer that that is your contrubitution. Also your cititation needs to be where the information is presented.U'Ronnie
