Members of the Peru Europe Platform (PEP) join with the Peruvian National Coordinator of Human Rights (CNDDHH) and strongly express their concern regarding the package of laws approved by the Peruvian government, under powers given to them by Congress regarding police and military matters. PEP also urges the European Union and its member states to denounce the adoption of these laws which could provide a legal framework to provide impunity to state agents suspected and convicted of human rights atrocities committed during the twenty years of internal armed conflict that Peru experienced between 1980 and 2000 and which left approximately 70,000 victims.
