While this panorama of arbitrary executions and impunity responds to injustice and structural causes embedded in the Paraguayan society which should be dealt with and resolved by means of public policies for the redistribution of land on a large scale, the CODEHUPY does support a basic programme agenda consisting of 14 point measures that should be adopted immediately. These measures should be implemented without delay in order to face the problem, bring about justice, and provide...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[















With respect to the 77 cases of arbitrary executions that have been recorded in this Report, correspond 62 judicial trials that have been filed or opened (or that should have been opened) as part of the investigation of the facts. Of these cases, 41 were initiated and filed in court under the effect of the penal procedures foreseen in the Code of Penal Procedure established in the year 1890, whereas 21 of these penal causes were initiated under the procedures of the Criminal...]]></description>

In fifty-three cases, the aggressors were non-police security guards or hired assassins (i. e., mercenary gunmen), whereas National Police agents committed 22 arbitrary executions, either in the course of official actions (repression of public demonstrations, forcible evictions or during the enforcement of arrest orders), or in criminal attacks perpetuated by off-duty police agents, in conjunction with hired gunmen. Lastly, two victims died while under the custody of the State, due to...]]></description>

The criminal attempts and attacks were directed principally against men and young adults that were poor peasants and rural workers linked to peasant organisations or involved with struggles for access to land, in the context of the agrarian reform. Those attacked belong to the linguistic group made up of monolingual speakers of Guaraní. Ninety-five per cent of the victims spoke Guarani as their mother tongue, and 80 per cent of these people only spoke the Guarani language. Cases of...]]></description>

Peasants participating in protests and demonstrations during the present democracy have suffered violent repression by the State’s security agencies, as well as the outlawing of their means of expression. In addition to imprisonment for the crime of “invading the property of others”, forced eviction, and the destruction of dwellings, cultivated areas and installations for raising farm animals, the acts of repression carried out by the State and private landowners implied...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[In Paraguay, the rapid transferring of State property and its natural resources (wood, yerba mate tea and natural pasture lands) into the hands of international capital, after the devastation left by the Triple Alliance War towards the end of the 19th century, gave rise to the creation of the great extensions of private land holdings known as latifundios and originated the beginning of the fi ght for land by the uprooted peasants living in the countryside.
