Last year, as part of the International Society for the Reform of Criminal Law, we brought the three attorneys general to Ottawa as part of their conference. We had the three from Guatemala, El Salvador, and....
One of the discussion issues was that issue. Of course, Guatemala said yes. The other two countries were hesitant because it represents a foreign interference in their countries or a foreign intervention.
The issue for me is that it's a question of asking, “what is the result of that?” If you look at CICIG's work in Guatemala, it's very important work. We work with the commissioner for CICIG. We have good relationships. But what they're trying to do is look at corruption in the infiltration of the state. The problem is that when they leave, it doesn't mean the system is still functioning. There has to be somebody creating functionality.
One of the problems is that there are corrupt people, and one of the problems is that there is infiltration. The other problem is if the system doesn't work, even if you clean it up, you still don't have a functioning justice system. That's what has been the nature of our relationship with CICIG. In a country like Honduras, something like that could be very valuable. But I think it's only part of the solution.
