The Government has declared a 60-day state of emergency in 34 districts across six regions of the country to strengthen efforts aimed at combating crime, as well as migration and border controls.
The measure covers the districts of Tambopata, Inambari, Las Piedras, Laberinto, Madre de Dios, and Huepetuhe in Madre de Dios region, Peru's southern jungle.
Similarly, it includes the border districts of El Cenepa, Rio Santiago, and Imaza (Amazonas region); Namballe (Cajamarca region); Iberia, Tahuamanu, and Iñapari (Madre de Dios); and Lancones, Suyo, and Ayabaca (Piura region).
Furthermore, the decree applies to the districts of San Juan del Oro, Yanahuaya, Sina, Ananea, Cojata, Huayrapata, Moho, Tilali, Yunguyo, Tinicachi, Ollaraya, Desaguadero, Kelluyo, Pisacoma, and Capazo (Puno region), as well as Masisea, Yurua, and Purus (Ucayali region).
In these jurisdictions, the Peruvian National Police (PNP) will maintain control of internal order, supported by the Armed Forces.
It will also determine intervention areas based on intelligence, indicators, statistics, and crime mapping.
During the state of emergency, the exercise of constitutional rights related to the inviolability of homes, freedom of movement within national territory, freedom of assembly, as well as personal liberty and security will be restricted or suspended.
Authorities will carry out permanent and random foot patrols, along with continuous deterrent motorized patrols in strategic areas such as transport stops, border zones—particularly at unauthorized or unregulated crossing points—critical infrastructure, and public service facilities, among other strategic actions.
The states of emergency were established through supreme decrees published in the Extraordinary Regulations bulletin of Official Gazette El Peruano.
