Guatemala Transnational Issues

Disputes - international: Guatemala periodically asserts claims to
territory in southern Belize; to deter cross-border squatting, both
states in 2000 agreed to a "line of adjacency" based on the de facto
boundary, which is not recognized by Guatemala

Illicit drugs: transit country for cocaine and heroin; minor
producer of illicit opium poppy and cannabis for the international
drug trade; proximity to Mexico makes Guatemala a major staging area
for drugs (cocaine and heroin shipments); money laundering is
probably increasing
