UN General Assembly
2025

It is not acceptable in a civilised world that one country invade another using a false narrative to justify a war, a war that first and foremost attacks the civilian population. It is not acceptable to slaughter civilians, to capture hundreds of young people, women and even children and use them as hostages. We live under the threat of international organised crime. In Peru, international crime based on extortion uses terrorist methods such as bomb attacks to submit citizens to its will. These criminal organisations that use weapons of war have created financial mechanisms to launder blood-stained money, sending large sums back to their countries of origin. They seek to normalise this violence, which requires, in order to be defeated, recognition by the UN as terrorist organisations and new national and international legislation to stop them being a threat to the democratic system and to the development of peoples. It is also imperative that we act against drug trafficking and illegal mining that destroys the environment, pollutes rivers and condemns peoples and individuals to slavery.
