Abstract

This paper theoretically analyses peace process in the resolution of Guatemala armed conflict linked
to unmet human needs as part of its root causes. It stresses elements of political mediation that
allow parties to reach agreements and apply them to the analysis of Guatemala conflict resolution; the
conclusion is that although negotiations made possible the end of armed confrontations, the situation
of peace agreement compliance does not reflect an “effective” conflict resolution but a way to reach
peace which needs to be based on structural changes.
