Reseña

This paper is part of the study carried out by the Institute of Democracy and Human Rights of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (IDEHPUCP), with the support of Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights (VPI), between end of 2020 and beginning of 2022. Its objective was to explore and analyze human rights training in the private security sector in Peru. Thus, recommendations presented
here are a continuation of the previous diagnosis document. Therefrom, some lines or content proposals are established that should be considered to strengthen the public policy of training in human rights, whose impact is not only limited to the actors directly involved in the sector, but also involves all users and civil society that interact with it on a daily basis.

Taking into account the importance of strengthening knowledge and capacities related to of human rights protection among the people in charge of private security in Peru, the need arises to contribute to the plans and strategies that incorporate the human rights approach in training courses for staff in this area. A diagnostic document was first prepared with this objective. Three information collection
methodologies were used for it: bibliographic review, legislative analysis and fieldwork consisting of nineteen interviews conducted between December 2020 and February 2021 with various actors pertaining to the State, the private sector and civil society. After the diagnosis was prepared, it was presented to seven actors (who represent the three previously mentioned instances) in four validation and feedback
sessions, between December 2021 and February 2022, so as to collect their impressions and recommendations regarding the findings and problems that are made visible in the study.
