Dear Peace Net member,

After a one-month absence we are pleased to return to Peace
Net with our "Report from El Salvador." We have not published a
report in recent weeks because of the August holiday in El
Salvador and the tunneling of our resources into current
special projects.  We hope this has not caused too much
inconvenience, and begin this week with a summary of events
from July 13 to August 10, after which our regular "Report
from El Salvador" will appear weekly.

However, we often receive inquiries from Peace Net
subscribers and others seeking information about El Rescate,
knowing us only as a source of information and analysis on the
situation in El Salvador. However, publications are only one
service of our Human Rights Department, which is but one of
many departments in our multi service organization.  So, by
way of introduction, the following is a description of El
Rescate:

El Rescate (The Rescue) was established in 1981 as a
humanitarian response to the urgent needs of the half-million
Central American refugees fleeing their war-torn countries,
seeking protection in the greater Los Angeles Area.  As the
country's oldest and largest provider of social and legal
services, education and advocacy, El Rescate has become a
national leader in articulating the needs of Central American
refugees, and in addressing the root causes behind their influx.
Below is a synopsis of the El RescateUs programs and
activities; the vehicles through which we serve the
community, foster peace, and advocate for individual dignity
here and abroad.

Our Social Services Department provides free, comprehensive
services to the thousands of people.  In 1991 we provided
3,600 shelter nights; served 10,600 hot meals; distributed
310,000 supplimentary meals; delivered 5,000 hours of ESL
Instruction and 600 hours of Literacy Training to the poorest
and most underserved population in Los Angeles.

El Refugio (The Refuge), our homeless shelter, provides
emergency food and shelter to recently arrived refugees.  El
Refugio serves as a focal point of our food and clothing
distribution programs.

Our Legal Services Department has distinguished itself as an
effective defender of refugee rights, providing free legal
representation, counseling, and education to indigent Central
Americans.  By pressing several successful class action suits,
El Rescate has been at the forefront of protecting and
extending civil liberties to Central American refugees seeking
protection in the United States.

El RescateUs Children's Advocacy Project was the first to offer
assistance to children held in INS detention centers.  In
addition to representing hundreds of minors each year, and
reuniting families, El Rescate hosts an annual Christmas party
for over one thousand refugee children in the Los Angeles area,
and last year delivered gifts to nearly 700 children detained at
the border over the holiday season.

El Rescate's Human Rights Department has won national and
international prominence as a source of information and
analysis on human rights in El Salvador.  Our publications are
considered essential by Central American lobbyists, U.S.
Congressional members, and journalists.

Our International Human Rights Law Project brings human
rights abuses to international courts.  This is groundbreaking
work and due to petitions submitted by El Rescate several
cases have become the subject of international investigation
and debate in the Organization of American States, the
International Labor Organization, and the U.S. Trade
Representative.

The El Salvador Fund has distributed over a million dollars in
aid to self-development projects among El Salvador's rural and
urban poor.

EL RESCATE HUMAN RIGHTS DEPARTMENT

REPORT FROM EL SALVADOR
July 13-August 10, 1992

Six months have passed since the signing of the Peace
Agreement and the process has entered another difficult stage.
The FMLN refused to demobilize the second 20% of its
combatants on July 31 and it has been announced that United
Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Peace Operations,
Marrack Goulding, will arrive August 14 in an effort to resolve
the problems and advance the process.

The July 13-14 general strike called by the labor movement to
pressure the private sector and government for
implementation of the Economic/Social Forum was considered
a success with an estimated 150,000 workers participating.
The day before the action began, direct meetings were held
between labor leaders, the government and COPAZ in the
presence of ONUSAL observers and the Ambassadors of the four
"friendly" countries. The government agreed to increase efforts
to implement the Forum by "persuading" the private sector to
join "following the August holidays." (1) However the "IVA"
sales tax, strongly opposed by the labor movement, and whose
rejection was one of the principal demands of the strike, was
passed by the Assembly two weeks later.

While political attention has been focused on the
demobilization of FMLN combatants, former members of the
Armed Forces have begun to organize. On July 31, for the first
time in history, former soldiers marched to demonstrate
discontent with the treatment they have received. Three
hundred war-disabled veterans belonging to "ALFAES"
demanded indemnities, adequate health care and financial
support.


"During the first six months there have been decisive, though
imperfect advances."
Dr. Iqbal Riza (2)

"This phase will be much more complex than the previous one."
Joaquin Villalobos (3)

According to the calendar of implementation of the peace
agreement, two thirds or 92 of the 117 agreements signed in
Chapultepec, Mexico, as well as others signed in San Jose,
Mexico and New York, should have been implemented by July 31.
During a press conference held that day, the FMLN General
Command accused the government of non-compliance or only
partial compliance with 46 agreements, including programs for
ex-combatants, and announced that the scheduled
demobilization of the second 20% of combatants was
suspended. Further advances toward the conclusion of the
cease-fire period on October 31 "depend on the government,"
insisted Joaquin Villalobos. "If the context is not created, we
will not move forward. The government logic is that they can
go by foot while the FMLN goes by plane ... It is absurd and we
are not going to do it." (4)

The previous crisis, which occurred in April and May, was
resolved during a brief visit by U.N. official Marrack Goulding
in June. Following intense meetings with both sides,
agreements were reached to dismantle the National Guard, the
Treasury Police, the National Intelligence Directorate and the
Civil Defense, and the first 20% of FMLN combatants were
demobilized. But once again the calendar is suffering serious
setbacks. "Old delays are creating new delays," said Schafik
Handal. The absence of programs for the reinsertion of the
first 20% of the combatants "affects the spirits of our people
as the next deadline approaches." (5)

ONUSAL Director Dr. Iqbal Riza attributed the difficulties in
part to the lack of clarity in the accords. Each side "makes
interpretations which are almost always contradictory," he
explained. (6) Earlier he warned that the Security Council could
withdraw the Mission if the accords are not honored: "The U.N.
could decide it has other priorities." (7)


"A significant number of ex-combatants have begun to return
to the concentration sites where at least there is food."
Mauricio Chavez of the FMLN Reconstruction Commission (8)

"It is as though you buy a car and keep paying, but they do not
give you the car."
PDC Deputy Gerardo LeChevalier (9)

On July 23 members of the FMLN Reconstruction Commission
first indicated that the scheduled demobilization could be
suspended. According to Mauricio Chavez, the government has
20 million colones in emergency funds available for ex-
combatants and 750 million colones committed in
international donations for assistance programs to ex-
members of both armies, but the 1600 FMLN combatants
demobilized on June 30 "have not received a single cent" and
there have been no land transfers. (10)

Government and military officials responded by denouncing the
conditioning of further demobilization and accused the FMLN of
a series of violations including the presence of FMLN security
commissions in conflictive zones and alleged arms shipments.
(11) General Rene Emilio Ponce warned of a "high political
cost" for not demobilizing and said the peace process would be
"difficult" unless the FMLN complied. (12) Dr. Oscar Santamaria
insisted there was no "bad will" on the part of the government
and blamed the problem on delays in the delivery of
international aid for assistance programs to ex-combatants.
(13)

The FMLN General Command sent a letter to the U.S. Congress
on July 23 warning that the demobilization would be "hindered"
because of the lack of agreement on assistance programs.
According to the letter, the government presented a proposal
on July 17 which did not offer "real perspectives" for the
economic development of ex-combatants but merely proposed
"subsistence-level options." The letter also criticized the
handling of U.S. funds by AID officials who have been "biased in
favor of the government." (14)

The FMLN global reinsertion program includes funding for
contingency aid, education, economic development, housing,
rehabilitation for war-disabled ex-combatants and pensions
for families of deceased combatants. Sonia Aguinada Carranza
of the Foundation "16 de enero" explained that, under the plan,
10,944 members of the END, FMLN, and war-disabled former
combatants would receive benefits to total $190 million over
a five-year period. (15)


"The FMLN attitude is delay, delay, delay."
Press Secretary Ernesto Altschul (16)

"We cannot take steps into a void. We are not that naive.
Joaquin Villalobos (17)

On July 27 National Press Secretary Ernesto Altschul accused
the FMLN of being "irresponsible" and implementing a strategy
"to maintain their military structure as long as possible." The
process, he said, "is like a dance that never ends." Altschul
insisted that "100%" of the short-term reinsertion programs
for ex-combatants were ready. (18) ARENA President Calderon
Sol admitted "involuntary delays" existed but denied the
government was not complying with agreements and charged
that the FMLN was looking for "a pretext" not to disarm. (19)

The majority of demobilized government troops have not
received any assistance either, according to General Ponce,
"but this has not been an excuse not to demobilize. There is no
justification." (20) President Cristiani insisted the lack of
funds is due to "external factors" and urged the FMLN to
"analyze the situation more seriously ... and not call it a crisis
every time there are delays." (21)

During a late-night session on July 30, the Assembly passed
the Military Service Law. However, the legislation contained
last-minute changes made by ARENA deputies in spite of a
consensus decision in COPAZ on the content. The folowing day
the General Command held a press conference to formally
announce the temporary suspension of the demobilization
process due to non-compliance with 46 of the accords
including land transfers, development of the National Civil
Police, the Police Academy, the new state intelligence service,
and the modifications imposed on the Military Service Law by
ARENA deputies. Schafik Handal asserted that the changes will
allow the military to open an unlimited number of recruitment
centers around the country: "We do not accept what they have
done." (22)

High-level meetings between the FMLN and government with
ONUSAL mediation were held during the last week of July but
the most difficult issues were not resolved and both sides
apparently agreed to request the presence of Marrack Goulding
once again. Msr. Ricardo Urioste commented on the importance
of Goulding's visit, saying he hoped for a "stronger voice" from
the United Nations, "but we won't always have this presence
and I insist that compliance with the Accords depends on us.
We made the war and we must make the peace." (23)

In spite of the difficulties, there were advances in the process
during the last two weeks of July. The office of the
Ombudsman for Human Rights was opened to the public,
President Cristiani appointed the civilian and military
members of the Academic Council of the Military School and
the director of the National Civil Police. Legislation creating
the PNC and permitting legalization of the FMLN party was
passed by the Assembly and the first of the five elite
battalions, the Bracamonte, was dismantled. ONUSAL
announced the implementation of a campaign to clean-up mined
areas of the country; an estimated 400 sq. kilometers will
first be marked off-limits by a task force of ONUSAL, UNICEF,
Armed Forces and FMLN members.

Dr. Iqbal Riza remarked recently that there has been "a
complete transformation of the country" since last July but he
hinted that the mandate of the ONUSAL mission could be
extended: "The lasting conditions for peace will not be
consolidated until the 1994 election." (24)


"We have been appointed to rescue the truth ... so these
atrocious situations are not repeated ... We are not from the
right or the left. We are ambidextrous."
Dr. Belisario Betancur, Member of the Truth Commission (25)

Opposition politicians believe current difficulties in the peace
process can be attributed partially to the fact that the most
delicate moments for the Armed Forces have arrived, including
the dismantling of the elite battalions, the report of the Ad-
Hoc Commission and the implementation of the Truth
Commission.

The three members of the Truth Commission arrived in El
Salvador on July 14 after being sworn-in by the U.N. Secretary-
General in New York. Belisario Betancur, Reynaldo Figueredo
and Thomas Buergenthal were in the country four days, meeting
with government, military, political and religious leaders. The
Commission also paid a visit to the Segundo Montes Community
in Morazn where members met with the sole surviving
witness to the Mozote massacre.

The scope of the Commission's work has not been publicly
elaborated. On his arrival, Dr. Betancur said the "golden rule" is
the agreement establishing the Commission. "We do not have
specifically defined cases," he explained, "because our mandate
was not specific." (26) Asked about threats against
Commission members, Betancur responded that "any pressures
will fall into an abyss. We are not people who can be pressured
or impressed." (27) Reynaldo Figueredo explained that the
members were fully aware "of the significance of the mission
with which we have been entrusted and of the hopes of the
Salvadoran people to know the truth." (28)


"Some sectors could create obstacles for the Commission's
work."
Archbishop Rivera y Damas (29)

Military and government leaders, the FMLN and popular
organizations all expressed support for the Commission. "The
truth has to be crystal clear," stressed General Mauricio
Vargas, (30) and Minister of Defense Ponce promised the "full
collaboration" of the Armed Forces, noting the assassinations
of mayors and judges. He said the Commission "will establish a
truth that many do not know ... and that in some cases has been
twisted to accuse many sectors without any evidence." (31)

Vice-President Merino called on the United States to provide
information on cases such as Zona Rosa, the mayors, and
assassinations of conservative intellectuals. (32) Assembly
President Roberto Angulo declared, "the left must reveal who
the assassins were." (33) A DIARIO DE HOY columnist decried
the "imbalance" in information provided to the Commission,
charging that Washington is providing data "in order to
investigate officers but not terrorist commanders," and that
"many leftist organizations in various parts of the world are
collecting testimonies and evidence against the Armed Forces."
(34)

The Truth Commission "is just a big international show staged
to finish off what remains of the Armed Forces," contended
former Attorney-General Dr. Mauricio Eduardo Colorado, "and to
justify the replacement of the Supreme Court." According to
Colorado, the Commission has no legal jurisdiction and is "the
result of government concessions to the FMLN." (35) The far-
right "Civic Movement for a Free El Salvador" published a full-
page ad demanding the Truth Commission "also judge the
terrorists" and asking, "Are officers aware that the Ad-Hoc
and Truth Commissions are designed to destroy the Armed
Forces?" (36)


"This is a great opportunity for Salvadorans and there is no
time to lose. The 75,000 killed, those of El Mozote, Sumpul,
Copapayo, Las Hojas, all demand the truth and justice."
YSFF Editorial (37)

The Commission members will visit the country for four or
five days each month, but the real work will be carried out by
a large staff headed by Argentinian Patricia Valdez. The
majority of the staff members are Latin Americans and
Europeans, many with similar experience in the Southern Cone.
While there is concern about the monumental task ahead and
the time constraint, Dr. Betancur said the staff will work
"sixteen hours a day ... to convert the six months into 12
months." (38)

On August 10 the Commission opened its office to receive
denunciations from the public and in September the staff will
begin visits to the interior of the country. In a communique
issued August 8, the Commission stated that "anyone who has
information about serious acts of violence since 1980" can
present written or oral testimonies. (39) This message is
being repeated in radio commercials: "With the contribution of
everyone, we will find the truth." (40)

Human rights and popular organizations are collecting
information and testimonies and have begun to present
documentation to the Commission. While many cases have been
presented privately, publicly, the non-governmental Human
Rights Commission (CDHES) has presented 150 cases, including
49 massacres. The Democratic Convergence will present the
cases of Hector Oqueli Colindres and the FDR leaders and
jointly deliver the case of Mario Zamora with the UDN. The
Church has presented all documentation on the assassination
of Archbishop Romero. CRIPDES has delivered 41 cases. The
Intergremial will present the FENASTRAS and Nazario de Jesus
Gracias cases and has called on the Commission to visit
clandestine jails. The National University is collecting
documentation on violations, and the CPDN has begun a
campaign to encourage the population to present testimonies.
The right is also preparing cases; a group of unidentified
judges are reportedly preparing documentation on twenty-nine
judges and justices of the peace assassinated between 1980-
1989.

In spite of the welcoming words from most sectors and the
international nature of the Commission, problems are
anticipated. "I do not doubt there will be pressures and
difficulties," commented Joaquin Villalobos, "but if the
Commission does not do its job, it will be blocking the peace
process." (41) And human rights workers question what will
happen after the Commission issues its report. "Who will be in
a position to prosecute a military officer or a member of the
High Command," asked Reynaldo Blanco of the non-
governmental Human Rights Commission. (42)


"Complete answers  ... would honor the cause of justice and
strengthen civilian vigilance over a hard-line Latin American
army whose officers have had extensive U.S. training."
NEW YORK TIMES Editorial (43)

Meanwhile, the NEW YORK TIMES has called on the U.S.
government to give "complete support" to the Ad-Hoc
Commission, criticizing the slowness of "bureaucratic wheels"
and demanding "identification of the evildoers and removal
from their posts." (44)

In an apparent indication that the U.S. government is indeed
assisting the purification process of the Armed Forces,
members of the Ad-Hoc Commission returned to Washington
August 2-5 to receive additional information. Following the
first visit in July, Commission member Eduardo Molina said the
State Department had promised "highly delicate" documents
"which could endanger relations between the two countries and
must be handled with extreme care." Molina did not elaborate
but said both countries "trust the delicate mission" of the
Commission. (45) In another interview Molina explained that
much of the information to be received in August "may be only
provided verbally, due to its delicate nature." (46)

As of July 24 the Commission had interviewed over two
hundred officers, most young and most of whom, according to
Molina, "demonstrated the will, enthusiasm and character" to
participate in an army "that can function in a democratic
society." (47) The Peace Agreement allows only three months
for the Commission to complete its task, but an extension
beyond August 19 is anticipated.


"The taboo in relation to the impunity of the military was
broken two years ago by public opinion. Now the same thing
must  happen to the Supreme Court."
Ruben Zamora (48)

In recent weeks there has been increasing criticism of the
Supreme Court as a perpetrator and defender of impunity. A
group founded by an Ad Hoc Commission member, the "Casa de
la Amistad," has called for the establishment of a "truth
commission" to investigate Court actions in a number of cases,
including that of the former process server, Rene Garcia, who
presented photocopied documentation of irregularities to
opposition deputies last May and was immediately arrested on
charges of drug-trafficking and falsification of documents.

On July 15, Garcia wrote a letter to the court contradicting his
earlier statements, saying his case had been "manipulated" by
Ruben Zamora and other opposition politicians "to denigrate
the good reputation of magistrates." (49) Zamora told the press
that Garcia had consulted him before writing the letter.
Implying that Garcia was under extreme pressure, Zamora
called him "another victim of the Supreme Court." (50) PDC
Deputy Roberto Viera played a tape recorded earlier of Garcia
saying he was afraid for his life. Viera charged that Garcia
changed his story because of the "sanctified inquisition of the
'Supreme Court of Injustice,' something which cannot be
touched. People must bow their heads because there is no
justice in this country." (51)

The following day legal authorities announced that trials of
certain controversial cases which should go to the Truth
Commission would be held immediately: the 1988 San
Sebastian massacre and the 1989 assassinations of former
Supreme Court President Dr. Francisco Guerrero, Edgar Chacon
and Gabriel Payes. (52) Just days later, however, the trial of
Major Mauricio Beltran, accused of ordering the San Sebastian
massacre, was abruptly postponed following the jury
selection. (53)

On July 21, Cesar Erazo Cruz was tried and acquitted for the
assassination of Dr. Guerrero. Guerrero's daughter attended the
trial and told the press, "I do not consider myself to have been
harmed by Erazo Cruz." (54) Aracely Guerrero de Paredes said
her father's assassination was related to "other causes,"
noting that his briefcase, which contained "important
documentation on the Jesuit case," was missing from the scene
of the crime. (55) The defendant said he had been simply
passing by and was wounded during the attack against
Guerrero. Erazo Cruz was then captured by the National Police
and "subjected to blackmail, psychological pressure and death
threats" before signing an extrajudicial confession. (56) The
state prosecutor denounced the acquittal, charging that the
jury was "pressured ... by the defendant's terrorist friends in
the courtroom." (57)

In another case, Adolfo Aguilar Payes, accused of
assassinating two conservative political analysts in 1989, has
been held in jail for three years. According to his lawyers
there is no evidence against him except his coerced
extrajudicial confession: "Crimes were accrued in the
headquarters of the security forces," said Dr. Jose Maria
Mendez, "they could have added that he killed Jesus Christ,
Issac and Barrabas." (58) Following the Erazo Cruz acquittal,
the trial of Aguilar Payes, scheduled for July 27, was
"indefinitely" postponed, because of "paid advertisements
pressuring the jury," according to Supreme Court President Dr.
Mauricio Gutierrez Castro. (59)


"There is no evidence as to the authors of these crimes ... but
the style indicates the death squads."
Msr. Ricardo Urioste (60)

"The population could become frustrated ... when they see that
not even an apparatus as powerful as the United Nations could
put an end to impunity."
Reinhard Jung-Hecker (61)

In the climate of post-war violence it has become increasingly
difficult to determine the motives of assassinations. Five
cases during the past two weeks have caused particular
concern:

%  FENASTRAS member Miguel Angel Alvarado was found
brutally murdered in his home in Apulo on July 22. It is
believed that his wife, who has family members who are high-
ranking military officers, was involved in the killing. (62)

%  FENASTRAS leader Ivan Ramirez was shot to death in a
restaurant in San Salvador in the early morning hours of July
31. Authorities say the crime was the result of a dispute over
a woman, but Ramirez had received death threats and,
according to FENASTRAS, was under surveillance. (63)  Also
according to witnesses, one of three gunmen singled him out
saying, "Vos sos" ("you're the one"), after which they fired six
bullets into him. (64)

%  Eduardo Pineda, a former member of the Attorney General's
staff, prosecutor for the Jesuit case and currently on the staff
of the Ombudsman's office, was shot in his home on the night
of July 31. His vehicle was stolen but family members and co-
workers do not believe the motive was robbery. Pineda is still
in critical condition and may be moved to the U.S. for medical
treatment. (65)

%  ATMOP member Jose Alejandro Jacobo was assassinated in
his home in Santa Ana on August 3. According to family
members the assailants tried to steal a briefcase with
documents on union activities and one of the men was an ex-
soldier. (66)

%  On August 7 three men in a taxi attempted to kill FMLN
Commander Reyes Tomas Martinez as he pulled up to his house
in Colonia Loma Linda. Gunshots were fired through his
windshield, but he was not injured. (67)

There has been no progress on the investigation of these
crimes or indeed any of the other violent, possibly political,
crimes which have occurred during the tenure of ONUSAL. Non-
governmental human rights organizations have become
increasingly critical of ONUSAL's role following the letter
written by former ONUSAL Human Rights Division official
Reinhard Jung-Hecker to the Secretary-General of the U.N. last
month. Jung-Hecker severely criticized ONUSAL Director Dr.
Iqbal Riza for restraining the Human Rights Division and
demonstrating a bias in favor of the government. On August 10,
CD Deputy Jorge Villacorta expressed the hope that the visit of
Marrack Goulding would lead to a redefinition of the role of Dr.
Riza. "ONUSAL has lacked an aggressive attitude," he said, "and
the Director is acting as an advisor rather than a mediator."
(68)

Meanwhile, the contract of Argentinian human rights expert Dr.
Rodolfo Mattarollo was not renewed. The decision, apparently
made in New York, is of concern to other members of the
ONUSAL mission and local human rights workers who are aware
of his valuable analytical and theoretical contribution to the
work. (69) Dr. Mattarollo became a "cause celebre" in February
when ARENA deputies refused to allow him to participate in a
human rights forum in the Assembly, charging he was "persona
non-grata" in the country. Although the government refused to
publicly elaborate the reasons for its opposition to the
presence of Dr. Mattarollo and hinted at a "dark past," it is
known that his participation in the Jesuit investigation
angered the military. Dr. Mattarollo's contract expires August
31.

On July 28 the United Nations announced that Dr. Diego Garcia-
Sayan Larrabure will arrive in September to replace Dr.
Philippe Texier as Director of the Human Rights Division of
ONUSAL. Garcia-Sayan is Peruvian, a member of the Committee
for the Prevention of Torture in the Americas and Executive
Director of the Andean Commission of Jurists. He has held
other international posts and has previously worked for the
United Nations. (70)
