Peru

Peru is a constitutional, multiparty republic. Elections are characterized as free and fair by observers. The government took steps to investigate and, in some cases, prosecute or otherwise punish public officials accused of abuses and corruption, including high-level officials. Nonetheless, corruption and a perception of impunity remained prevalent and were major public concerns.

The overall score indicates that serious violations of human rights happen in this country. Compliance with human rights standards cannot be assumed. High caution should be exercised. Relevant risks for the tourism sector are, e.g.:
  • Government corruption
  • Lack of investigation of and accountability for gender-based violence
  • Sex and labor trafficking
