Definition
How to read this record
Every field, every mark and the class of the instrument itself has its definition here. None of them describes this document: they describe the form it was issued in, and what the archive knows and does not know about it.
Every mark on this record opens. Inside is what it means, and what it does not.
The class of instrument
legislative decrees
17
Ordinary statute: enacted by the Congress of the Republic, and only another statute can amend it.
›More on this class
What it is
This is the act by which the Congress of the Republic legislates. The Constitution reserves to Congress the power to enact, amend and repeal laws (article 171(a)) and gives it the taxing power exclusively: only a decree of Congress can create a tax and set its taxable event, its base, its rate and its exemptions (article 239). Once published, no executive agreement may contradict it; a lower provision that distorts those bases is void by operation of law. Above it sit the Constitution and the treaties Congress ratifies. The codes, the Foreign Investment Law and the free-zone and maquila regimes all live in this form.
What it can do
Enact, amend and repeal laws; create taxes and set the bases on which they are assessed; approve the treaties that bind the State; and authorize the budget.
What it cannot do
Contradict the Constitution. A law that violates or distorts a constitutional mandate is void ipso jure (article 175), and the Constitutional Court can strike it from the legal order.
Where it ranks
Below the Constitution and ratified treaties; above every agreement or decree of the executive.
Issued by
The Congress of the Republic
The register holds 17 of this class, out of 664 dated instruments detected. It is what detection has reached in the gazette, not the complete body of Guatemalan law.
executive decrees
10
A decree of the President for what the Constitution empowers him to decree: today, the states of exception.
›More on this class
What it is
This is the form the President uses when the Constitution itself empowers him to decree, and not merely to regulate (article 183(e)). In today's practice it is the instrument of the states of exception — prevention, alarm, public calamity, siege and war — which the President declares in Council of Ministers when the grounds in article 138 and the Public Order Law are met. The decree must state the cause, the territory and the term, and it goes to Congress, which ratifies, modifies or rejects it. For anyone operating here it matters for what it suspends: movement, assembly and hours, over a defined territory and for a defined term.
What it can do
Declare a state of exception, delimit the territory and the term, and temporarily suspend the guarantees article 138 lists.
What it cannot do
Stand on its own. It must be reported to Congress, which ratifies, modifies or rejects it; it cannot suspend guarantees beyond those article 138 lists, and it cannot run past its term without a fresh decree.
Where it ranks
A presidential act, like the governmental agreement, but on a different footing: it does not develop a law, it exercises a power the Constitution grants the President directly. That is why, for as long as it lasts, it can do what no agreement can: suspend guarantees the Constitution itself lists.
Issued by
The President of the Republic in Council of Ministers
The register holds 10 of this class, out of 664 dated instruments detected. It is what detection has reached in the gazette, not the complete body of Guatemalan law.
executive agreements
607
An act of the President: it develops a law and cannot exceed it.
›More on this class
What it is
It is issued by the President of the Republic — in Council of Ministers where a law requires it — and countersigned by the minister of the branch concerned, a condition of validity without which it has no effect (Constitution, articles 183(e) and 194(f)). Its office is to carry out the law: to issue its regulations, organize the administration, and decide what a decree entrusts to the executive, from the regulation of a statute to an appointment, a decoration or the recognition of an entity. The class tells you the rank and the form, never the subject. It cannot alter the spirit of the law it develops, nor create a tax or move the bases on which one is assessed.
What it can do
Issue the regulations of a law, organize the executive branch, settle what a statute expressly delegates, and decide individual acts: appointments, recognitions, authorizations.
What it cannot do
Alter the spirit of the law it develops, or create, waive or grade a tax: that reserve belongs to Congress (article 239). A governmental provision that restricts a constitutional right is likewise void (article 44).
Where it ranks
Below the law it develops; above the ministerial agreement.
Issued by
The President of the Republic, with a minister's countersignature
The register holds 607 of this class, out of 664 dated instruments detected. It is what detection has reached in the gazette, not the complete body of Guatemalan law.
ministerial agreements
28
An act of a single ministry, within the competence a higher norm gave it.
›More on this class
What it is
It is signed by a single minister and governs within the department in that minister's charge. The Constitution and the Executive Branch Law (Decree 114-97) empower a minister to issue what a statute or a regulation expressly entrusts to them: technical standards, schedules of fees, forms, delegations, the internal organization of the ministry. It is the narrowest of the four rungs. It cannot amend a governmental agreement or exceed the regulation that empowers it, and tax matters are closed to it entirely. Its force depends wholly on the norm that granted the competence: repeal that, and the ministerial agreement is left without a base.
What it can do
Issue technical standards, fees and procedures inside its own branch; delegate functions; organize its offices — always within what a statute or a regulation entrusted to it.
What it cannot do
Amend a law or a governmental agreement, create obligations outside its branch, or touch a tax. Anything it issues without express authority is challengeable on that ground alone.
Where it ranks
The lowest of the four rungs: below the governmental agreement, and below the law both of them develop.
Issued by
The minister of the branch concerned
The register holds 28 of this class, out of 664 dated instruments detected. It is what detection has reached in the gazette, not the complete body of Guatemalan law.
The class does not tell you the subject. A governmental agreement regulates a law and confers a decoration in exactly the same form.
Where each form sits
No norm may contradict the one above it, and the Constitution says so without qualification: a law that violates or distorts a constitutional mandate is void by operation of law (article 175), and so is any governmental provision, of whatever order, that diminishes or restricts a right the Constitution guarantees (article 44).
Constitution of the Republic
Above everything. The Constitutional Court strikes down what contradicts it, and may provisionally suspend a challenged provision.
Ratified treaties and conventions
Congress approves them and they bind the State. On human rights the Constitution gives them precedence over domestic law (article 46); outside that field they are given the force of a statute, and the point is still argued.
Legislative decree
The ordinary statute, enacted by Congress. It is the only rung where a tax is born.
Governmental agreement and decree
Acts of the President. The agreement develops a law without exceeding it; the decree exercises a power the Constitution grants him directly.
Ministerial agreement
An act of a single ministry, valid within what a higher norm entrusted to it.
The order measures the force of each form, not the importance of any one document. A ministerial agreement setting fees can weigh more on an operating cost than a law that was never given its regulations.
The fields
Published
The date of the Diario de Centro América edition in which the source records this instrument as published. It is the only fact about time this index certifies.
Publishing is not signing and it is not entry into force. It is the act that makes a norm binding on everyone, and the one that starts the clock in article 180 of the Constitution.
In force
From when the instrument binds. This archive does not know and does not compute it.
The general rule is set by article 180 of the Constitution: a law begins to govern eight days after its full publication in the official gazette, unless the law itself widens or narrows that term or its territorial scope. The exception is the ordinary case — almost every instrument fixes its own commencement in its final article, and many stagger entry into force article by article. Add later repeals, and the provisional suspension the Constitutional Court can order over a challenged provision. None of that fits in an index of publications: it is in the text.
If you need to know whether this governs today, open it. This record certifies that it was published, and nothing more. The note the source keeps with the row says so in the same words.
The marks on this record
No title of its own
What the archive detected
The title field reads “Acuerdos Ministeriales”, “Acuerdos Gubernativos” or “Decretos”: the name of a section of the edition, not the subject of this instrument.
Why it happened
The gazette's index groups what it publishes into sections, and on these rows what landed in the title field was the heading of the group. It is a defect in the source, and the archive does not repair it: writing the missing title would be composing it, and a title composed by us is a title the gazette never issued.
What to conclude
This page cannot tell you what the instrument is about; the linked document can. It is one click, and it is the only faithful reading.
›Across the register61 rows in the archive arrived with a section heading in place of a title.
The stored title contains the replacement character “�” where an accented vowel, an ñ or a quotation mark should be.
Why it happened
The text left the source encoded one way and was read another; the bytes with no equivalent were lost in that step and arrived here already lost. Nobody can recover them from this end: only the original document has the letters.
What to conclude
Read it with the obvious mental repair — “Condecoraci�n” is “Condecoración” — and go to the document wherever the doubt matters, in a proper name or a figure. Restoring the letters on the record would be inventing the text of a legal norm.

These definitions describe the legal form and the archive's own marks, not the document on this page. They rest on the Constitution of the Republic and the Executive Branch Law, cited by article. The archive has not read this instrument and does not say what it is about.

In research — sources cited, not yet in the verified archive
77 topics
Decree 9-98 and its national-treatment guarantee, the export incentive regimes, company law, intellectual property, investor-State arbitration and the sectoral statutes — every rule cited to the text that states it.
The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.
This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
