CIIDH Data
Welcome to the web data resource for the International Center for Human Rights
Research (CIIDH). Here you will find raw data on human rights violations in
Guatemala during the period 1960-1996 that you can use for your own statistical
analyses. The raw data are available in various formats, and one should suit
your software's needs.
These files are between 300-700 kilobytes.
The data are stored in a zipped compression format so that the data are
much easier to download. There are numerous unzipping packages for
GNU/Linux, Windows, and Macs.
For an explanation of how the data are structured and what the variables represent,
see the data dictionary. Other information about how
the data were gathered, processed, and analyzed is available in the introductions
to State Violence in Guatemala and
Draining the Sea.
If you use these data, you must cite them with the following reference:
