''The establishment of the ICC and its statutes contributes to overcoming the gaps of the legal system"
Lawyer and excutive director of APRODEH
In their own words
"We fight for our social commitment to achieve a complete implementation of human rights, for everybody, and a balanced and intercultural social justice in a multicultural country as Peru, with a range of different worldviews. The lack of social justice and respect for human rights is based, among other reasons, on the shortcomings of the Peruvian legal system. The establishment of the ICC and its statutes, through its jurisprudence and developments, contribute to overcoming the gaps of the legal system."
