Among the bodies in which it will participate, the country will serve on the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ) for the 2027–2029 term; the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), starting in 2027 for a four-year term; and the Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations for the 2027–2030 term.

Additionally, Peru was elected as a member of the Executive Board of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) for the 2027–2029 term.

It will also serve on the Intergovernmental Working Group of Experts on International Standards of Accounting and Reporting for the same period.

At these forums, Peru will promote dialogue, international cooperation, and the adoption of recommendations aimed at addressing global challenges, in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
