Peru's Fujimori defends convicted security forces at UN, stoking rights controversy

Peruvian President Keiko Fujimori told the UN that Peru defeated terrorism but that those who fought it are now being judged, implicitly defending military and police convicted of crimes against humanity during the internal conflict. The remarks signal a policy stance favoring security forces and may escalate domestic and international human-rights criticism. It is unclear whether this will translate into concrete legal or policy changes.
