In January 1986, Christian Democrat leader Vinicio Cerezo was elected President and said he had "the political will to respect the rights of man", but it didn't take long to find out that his political will was irrelevant in the face of Guatemala's well-oiled military machine.
Although Ronald Reagan's State Department asserted "there has not been a single clear-cut case of political killing, within months of Cerezo's inauguration, opposition leaders attributed 56 murders to security forces and death squads, while Americas Watch claimed that "throughout 1986, violent killings were reported in the Guatemalan press at the rate of 100 per month".

When the defendant head of state is a national of a state party to the treaty, head-of-state immunity is not really abrogated; rather, the state that holds the immunity has merely waived it in advance or delegated its power to try its own leaders.
In the United States, the distinction between the law of head-of-state immunity and the law of state sovereign immunity began to be gradually recognized in the second half of the twentieth century.
Verifying that it is irrelevant whether a leader actually exercises de facto control, the court asserted that head-of-state immunity extends to the person that the executive branch recognizes as the legitimate head of state.

Folsom's first term in office was also marred by a paternity case and accusations "of scandal, misconduct, and corruption in various state agencies under Folsom's control or the guidance of his associates."

During the first year of Folsom's second administration, most of his programs to expand state services were enacted and he almost succeeded in partly achieving his long-term goal of reapportionment in the legislature.
