Guatemala: Nunca Mas, the Recovery of Historical Memory Project report from the Archdiocese of Guatemala's own Human Rights Office, 1998, is that office's own commissioned inquiry, not independent academic scholarship. Its strength is that it documents civil war era human rights violations through firsthand testimony gathered directly by the church's own investigators, work whose lead author, Bishop Juan Gerardi, was murdered days after presenting it. Its limit is that it is an advocacy institution's own inquiry rather than a peer reviewed study, though its documentary and testimonial basis has been treated as credible by later independent researchers.
