Peru
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will make representations to the President of Peru, Alan Garcia, about promulgating the law on consultation, as approved by Peru’s congress, before 18 June, so that the rights of indigenous people which it assures are ratified.
- Answer
-
The UK welcomes any consultation process designed to head off disputes and to protect and respect the rights of the indigenous groups. Our ambassador to Peru has made this known to Ministers at regular intervals, most recently with Environment Minister Brack on 10 June. We understand that President Garcia has until 25 June to consider promulgation of the new consultative law.
