Peru – Trade

CHAPTER II: THE BUSINESS AND HUMAN RIGHTS SITUATION IN PERU

Over the last two decades, Peru has become an upper-middle income economy that is highly dependent on international trade and investment, and characterized by persistently high levels of informality (cf. OECD, 2020b, pp. 19-20). In this context, RBC has established itself with greater interest on the national agenda, which probably responds both to the growing adoption of RBC at the global level and to the increasing number of issues linked to the negative impacts of business: social conflicts, environmental and human rights concerns, and demands for greater transparency and better governance (cf. OECD, 2020b, pp. 20-21). – page 32
