Abstract: This final degree project analyzes the ruling of May 10, 2019, of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, in the Case of Martínez Coronado vs. Guatemala. The criminal process followed by the Guatemalan State against Manuel Martínez is studied, accused of murdering 7 people on October 26, 1995, sentenced to death by lethal injection and executed on February 10, 1998, a process in which committed several violations of due process: -The principle of legality was breached due to the use of speculations that represent an expression of author's criminal law, -the right to his defense was violated because he did not have effective private or public assistance, -the right to life because the sentence was carried out. In the present case, the Human Rights Court declares the Guatemalan state responsible for violating the principle of legality, violating the right to judicial guarantees, and violating the right to life and sentences it with reparation that obliges the State to pay a compensation for non-pecuniary damages, reimbursement to the Victims Legal Assistance Fund and publication of the sentence and its official summary.
