This article describes how UN human rights experts have expressed serious concern about historic illegal inter-country adoptions in Guatemala in which at least 80 Indigenous children were reportedly taken from an institution called Hogar Temporal Elisa Martínez after being captured or forcibly disappeared between 1968 and 1996, and later adopted abroad without proper consent or legal safeguards. The experts highlighted a lack of independent investigation into allegations — including possible involvement of high-level officials — and urged thorough, impartial inquiries and accountability so that affected families can access truth, justice, and reparations under international law.
