What immediate actions will the newly formed GIEI in Honduras undertake to investigate the murder of Berta Cáceres and related crimes?

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (CIDH) will establish an Independent Interdisciplinary Group of Experts (GIEI) in Honduras to investigate the intellectual authorship and related crimes behind the 2016 murder of environmental activist Berta Cáceres. This follows an agreement between the CIDH, the Honduran state, and civil society organizations. The GIEI will also propose a comprehensive reparation plan for communities affected by violence related to the Agua Zarca hydroelectric project, which Cáceres opposed.
