Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action is being taken to implement the European Union Guidelines on Human Rights Defenders in Peru.

The British Embassy in Lima works closely with the European Union Delegation and the Embassies of other EU countries to support the implementation of the EU Guidelines on Human Rights Defenders. This includes regular dialogue with human rights defenders on issues of concern, engagement with them on visits outside the capital, and participation in the EU's annual human rights defenders event.
