Since the onset of the crisis that Peru is currently facing—and certainly when there have been events where violence has occurred—we've made it absolutely clear to Peru that they have a responsibility to ensure that their security forces are not using excessive force and that any allegations that have been made need to be investigated.
We were pleased that the Government of Peru has welcomed the involvement of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights as well as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. We believe that the work of those two organizations needs to proceed. Any allegations that have been made need to see a result, they need to see a conclusion.
We have repeatedly said this to Peruvian authorities, not only during Minister Joly's call with her counterpart but also through our ambassador to the minister, to the president and repeatedly to other senior officials.
