The term announced by the Executive to regulate the Law of the Peruvian Agency for International Cooperation (APCI), which seeks to control the NGOs has already expired 11 days ago and it seems that it will have to say time of the Minister of Foreign Affairs itself, Elmer Schialer.
The chancellor went to the front to explain the reason for the delay of this regulation, and without giving a precise date on the publication of the regulation, he said that he must be ready in the “next weeks”.
“We are working on it. The new APCI law establishes new processes, whose elaboration requires exhaustive analyzes and formulations. There is a whole technical team, very professional and serious and working on the document. We hope to present the document in the coming weeks,” said Schialer, detailing that the regulation is being prepared with the greatest neatness.
The head of RR.EE. He pointed out that the objective is to have a clear and orderly regulation that allows to strengthen the international cooperation system in the country.
Schialer ruled out that the norm can generate a negative effect on the International Cooperation Flow. On the contrary, he considered that a clear regulatory framework will generate greater transparency and trust, both for cooperating sources and for executing entities in Peru.
Consulted by the sanctions introduced by the standard, which can reach up to 500 UIT and even the cancellation of the registration of organizations, the minister said that these will be applied only to serious infractions such as the deliberate diversion of funds or the concealment of information. “The sanctioning processes will be proportional and will respect due process,” he said.
Regarding the questions to the norm regarding the financing of litigation against the State, Schialer clarified that the law does not prohibit legal defense or access to justice, but establishes that cooperation funds must be used according to the aims for which they were declared. “
If a resource was registered for public health, it should not be used to finance litigation. Whoever wishes to file legal actions against the State can do so freely, but without using funds for other purposes, ”said the chancellor.
