Paris: UNESCO (2022), 4 pp.
"UNESCO organized several meetings with high-level representatives from the Peruvian government, including the judicial branch and the Prosecutor’s Office, along with civil society and media syndicates. This initiative also relied on cooperation with OHCHR and the Media Freedom Group, comprised of the embassies of the United Kingdom, the United States, the Netherlands and Canada in Lima. These parties agreed to continue holding a multi-stakeholder dialogue in 2022, with UNESCO as a facilitator. The continuation of this dialogue will enable the development of a joint roadmap to address the safety of journalists and promote freedom of expression, which is expected to be finalized in March 2022. This roadmap will be a first step in establishing a national mechanism for the safety of journalists." (p.2)
