The 2023 general elections in Guatemala have revealed the fragility of its democracy and the need for multiple sectors, including indigenous movements and the international community, to mobilize to defend and protect it.

In this session, representatives of the Guatemalan government, indigenous leaders, and representatives from the international community will discuss how the will of the Guatemalan people was preserved and democracy defended in the aftermath of the 2023 election, bringing new hope for strengthening the rule of law and justice, repairing institutions and strengthening democracy in Guatemala.

Note: If the Main Room Ballroom reaches the maximum capacity of participants, we invite attendees to view a live broadcast of the main stage from the Theater Room in the Convention Center.
