Peru

Addressing Smuggling of Migrants

Free movement mechanisms in force for most countries of the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR)1 have reduced the need for the migrant smuggling of South Americans. In recent years, the large majority of migrants smuggled into and through Peru have been from Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.

Peru is a country of origin, transit and destination for smuggled migrants. With the objective to strengthen inter-institutional and cross-border coordination, MIEUX supported the development of inter-sectoral guidelines and a targeted training manual to counter migrant smuggling.
