Parliamentarians from Latin America to meet in Lima, Peru, to discuss regional security strategies
Parliamentarians from 13 Latin American countries will be attending the interparliamentary meeting Beyond Borders: Regional Security Strategies organized by ParlAmericas and the Congress of the Republic of Peru on July 10 and 11, 2024.
The meeting, which will also bring together specialists and representatives of international and civil society organizations, will address the complex security situation the region faces from multidimensional, holistic, and human rights-centered perspectives.
The event will open with welcoming remarks by Member of Congress Yessica Rosselli Amuruz (Peru), Third Vice-President of the Congress of the Republic, ParlAmericas Board Member, and host of the event; and by the Honourable Senator Germán Blanco (Colombia), ParlAmericas Board Member.
The program includes sessions aimed at fostering the exchange of ideas and best legislative practices, and promoting comprehensive security governance models that recognize the need to strengthen the rule of law, reduce inequalities, and promote inclusion and sustainable development.
Dialogues will address topics such as citizen security, transnational organized crime, cybersecurity, and cyberviolence and its disproportionate impacts on girls, youth, and women.
