History
Human rights is an issue in the country of Guatemala. After President Cerezo was inaugurated into Guatemala’s highest office (in??) there has been a noted increase of killings and disappearances. For instance, a number of families that went missing (are now under review???) in the Grupo de Apoyo Mutuo case. Efforts to resolve these issues (include?) the establishment of the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala. This commission? has helped the Attorney General prosecute judicial killings and corruption. Nonetheless 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 growing concern.

Legal Issues
According to the International Human Rights Law Group, the Guatemalan criminal justice system is to blame for the poor human rights Guatemala faces as Cerezo announced it would now be their responsibility (run-on). The Guatemalan criminal justice system is supposed to work with the court to punish those who violate human rights. With a system implemented to protect human rights in Guatemala the issue of these rights being violated remains (??). This is partly because the judges are not trained properly which can affect the investigation (how?). The Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG) was established in 2007 and it works to break down corruption within the country. After a CICIG investigation the 2015 president (Cerezo??) collected bribes he was later arrested. Human rights violations continue to increase with the Guatemalan people as victims as a result improper protection from the government (a little confusing, rephrase).

Corruption
Violence, extortion, and gangs are significant problems in Guatemala that are causing many to emigrate to the United States? Elsewhere?. Corruption is a significant issue in Guatemala that is found (p.v.) among various high ranking officials. Former dictator Efraín "Ríos Montt was found guilty of "genocide and crimes against humanity" that included in the death of 1771 civilians in massacres from 1982-1983. More examples of these type of violations can be seen in 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. There have been other killings and disappearances from military bases that have resulted in charges on (being filed?) the former military personnel involved.

Gender
Fourteen women were found victims of sexual abuse by two military officers and sentenced to prison. The two officers both have prior criminal history. One with triple homicide with three women and the other is responsible for the disappearance of the husband's to his female victims (incomplete sentence). In addition the country's constitution? does not protect LGBT rights and a bill proposed in 2017 bans students from learning about other sexual orientations and also bans same sex marriage.

Good improvements, but you should read carefully for syntax / grammatical errors and my suggested edits.
