Through a statement, the governments of Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia and Mexico expressed their support for the former president of Peru Pedro Castillo and highlighted “their deep concern over the recent events that resulted in the removal and detention” of the former president.
The four nations were clear in stating that they still consider Castillo as president of Peru and see him as a “victim of undemocratic harassment” that violates Article 23 of the American Convention on Human Rights, “Costa Rica Pact”, approved on November 22, 1969.
With this pronouncement Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia and Mexico ignore Boluarte as president of Peru.
Additionally, in the statement the countries requested the Peruvian authorities to “fully respect the human rights of President Pedro Castillo” and to “guarantee judicial protection.”
