US embassy cable - 05LIMA2080

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: PERU: OAS WORKING GROUP ON RACISM 
 
REF: STATE 82983 
 
1.  Poloff delivered the demarche on the proposed OAS Working 
Group on Racism (Reftel) to the Foreign Ministry's Director 
of Human Rights, Carlos Roman, and to its Director of OAS and 
Hemispheric Affairs, Carlos Chocano, on 5/5.  Neither offered 
an official reply.  Chocano indicated, however, that Peru has 
historically backed initiatives against racism put forward by 
Brazil in the OAS.  Unofficially, Roman said that Peru had 
reacted favorably to the proposal for the working group to 
develop an Interamerican Convention in consultations with 
Brazil. 
 
2.  Emboffs will continue to raise this issue with the 
Foreign Ministry.
