No information was received from sources regarding outstanding cases. General allegation 327. Information was submitted by NGOs to the Working Group concerning alleged obstacles encountered in the implementation of the Declaration by the Government of Peru (see paragraph 14). This information was transmitted to the Government. 328. Reportedly, the Peruvian military has systematically failed to provide courts and prosecutors with information concerning the true identities of military personnel under investigation for human rights abuses, including disappearances, committed during the country’s armed conflict, which lasted from 1980 to 2000. 329. NGOs reported to have called on the Government of Peru to ensure that the Armed Forces fully cooperate with civilian prosecutors and courts investigating human rights violations committed in Peru’s armed conflict. 330. No reply was received from the Government regarding this general allegation. Summary of the situation prior to the period under review 331. The majority of the 3,006 reported cases of disappearance occurred between 1983 and 1992 in the context of the Government’s fight against the Communist Party of Peru, Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso) and the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement. The majority of reported disappearances took place in areas of the country that had been under a state of emergency and were under military control. Detentions were frequently carried out by uniformed members of the Army and the Navy infantry, sometimes together with civil defence groups. Total cases transmitted, clarified and outstanding 332. In the past and during the period under review, the Working Group has transmitted a total of 3,006 cases to the Government; of those, 385 cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided by the source, 253 cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided by the Government and 2,368 cases remain outstanding. Observations 333. The Working Group wishes to remind the Government of Peru once again of its responsibility to conduct thorough and impartial investigations “for as long as the fate of the victim of enforced disappearance remains unclarified”, in accordance with article 13, paragraph 6, of the Declaration.
