According to the Peruvian Ombudsman Office, in 2012 there were over 230 conflicts reported in the country, out of which socio-environmental conflicts related to the extractive industry were the largest single category.

At the end of 2012 International Alert and Desco organised an event in Lima, Peru aimed at promoting dialogue between government agencies, companies and civil society organisations on social conflict associated with the extractive industry in Peru. This report (available only in Spanish) compiles the presentations made by the speakers.
