Peru

During its 2019 assessment visit, the Committee learned about Peru’s national multi-sectoral approach to combating terrorism, which incorporates CVE-related elements. Led by the Ministry of the Interior, the development of the policy included consultations with 13 institutions and representatives of civil society. Those consultations led to the adoption of the National Multi-Sectoral Policy to Combat Terrorism, 2019-2023, which has three major objectives: (i) to reinforce a culture of peace in society; (ii) to restore the exercise of the rights of individuals affected by terrorism; and (iii) to neutralize terrorist acts and related national and transnational phenomena on the national territory, all under the umbrella of a holistic approach focused on prevention.
