Peru
Every month, members of the public put their questions on issues impacting the world.
Peru’s economy bounced back from the pandemic and is now one of the fastest growing in the world. But organised crime is surging, homicides have soared and complaints of extortion have almost quadrupled in the last three years. Political instability is a long-running problem and most of Peru’s Presidents this century have been jailed for corruption. Can the country achieve more stability and build its democracy at the same time? Can Peru restore law and order without sacrificing human rights? And in a country where twenty five percent of the population is indigenous, and which stretches from arid Pacific planes to the Amazon rain forest and the peaks of the Andes, how can it exploit its resources and protect its extraordinary diversity?
