The 2013 trial of Efraín Ríos Montt cemented Guatemala's reputation as a land of genocide. Most of the survivors who testified about army crimes during his 1982-1983 regime came from the Ixil Maya town of Nebaj. Oddly, some Nebajenses credit Ríos Montt with ending army massacres and saving their lives. This article focuses on the genocide debate in the municipio of Nebaj. It concludes that command responsibility for war crimes would have been a more effective indictment than genocide. K E Y WO R D SMayas, truth commissions, war crimes, racism, counterinsurgency ResumenEl juicio de 2013 contra Efraín Ríos Montt consolidó la reputación de Guatemala como tierra de genocidio. La mayoría de los sobrevivientes que testificaron sobre los crímenes del ejército bajo la administración de Montt (1982Montt ( -1983 pertenecían al pueblo maya ixil de Nebaj. Curiosamente algunos nebajenses dan crédito a Ríos Montt por poner fin a las masacres del ejército y salvarles la vida. Este artículo se centra en el debate sobre el genocidio en el municipio de Nebaj a través del análisis concluye que la responsabilidad de mando por crímenes de guerra habría sido una acusación más efectiva contra Ríos Montt que el genocidio.
