Peru - November 2022

A high-level delegation from the Organization of American States (OAS) visited Peru in November, pursuant to a resolution from its Permanent Council and after the request of President Pedro Castillo regarding the implementation of the Inter-American Democratic Charter with a view to “preserving the democratic political institutional process and the legitimate exercise of power in Peru”. The delegation met with multiple stakeholders and members of the executive, legislative and judicial branches. It also met with the country’s Attorney General and will present a report on its findings.

Last month, President Castillo sought the intervention of the OAS and denounced investigations into his administration from the country’s top prosecutor, as well as the filing of a constitutional complaint against him as a new type of coup.
