A Historic Conference:
This conference is historic as it provides for an in-depth review of
U.S. foreign policy of covert intervention in removing two democratic
regimes in two different parts of the world, discusses its consequences and proposes some lessons for the future policies.
The conference also provides an arena for the Iranian and Guatemalan communities to share their common experiences of these two coups. A special Healing Ceremony of Candle Lighting will be held on Friday night.
The first two days of the conference are in English and the Saturday sessions are in Persian/Spanish.
