Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts for Bolivia

The Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts for Bolivia (Grupo Interdisciplinario de Expertos Independientes—Bolivia, GIEI) is a committee of jurists and human rights experts created by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) to carry out a parallel investigation of human rights violations during the 2019 Bolivian political crisis, covering the period from 1 September 2019 to 31 December 2019.

The group was established following discussions between the IACHR and the interim Bolivian government led by Jeanine Áñez in December 2019, and an agreement between the two in January 2020.

The Group began its work in Bolivia on 23 November 2020 and issued its final report on 23 July 2021.

However, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the large amounts of material they needed from state institutions, they were granted an additional two months.

Following eight months of investigation, the GIEI released a comprehensive 482 page report detailing their findings as well as their recommendations.
