Why study with them?
Judge Miguel Ángel Gálvez Aguilar is a former judge in the High Risk Court B of Guatemala, where he served for over ten years, overseeing cases involving grave human rights violations, corruption, and widespread impunity following the 36-year civil war in Guatemala. His work proved to be instrumental in holding former heads of state accountable for their war crimes, abuses of power and networks of corruption. Yet his involvement in these cases also carried serious risks as he was subject to harassment, threats against his life, and political persecution. As such, in November of 2022, he went into exile and has yet to return to Guatemala.
