Considering the second periodic report of Peru, the Committee discussed the issue of human rights while combating terrorism or drug trafficking. It was noticed by the Government representative that in a Memorandum signed between the USA and Peru concerning illicit drug trafficking, specific provisions were included to ensure the respect of human rights when carrying out anti-drug strategy (para. 306). The Committee raised concern about the discrimination and non-participation of indigenous population in political process, especially in areas rich of drug production and trafficking (paras.322-323).
