RABINAL COMMUNITY LEGAL AID CLINIC The Community Legal Aid Office of Rabinal was founded in 1999. The rationale behind this initiative was to create an institution that could attend to the legal needs of people with few economic resources who had been affected by the internal armed conflict (especially during the years 1981 and 1982), and that would guarantee respect for human rights and security for land holders. |
