=== Peru protests ===

Between 2022 and 2023, several [[Peruvian protests (2022–2023)|protests in Peru]] erupted who were against the Congress and President Dina Bolurate. In December of 2022, the government suspended several constitutional rights. These included the right to prevent troops from entering and staying in one's home, the freedom of movement, and the freedom of assembly. The force used against the protesters resulted in at least six hundred injuries and sixty deaths. Spain had traditionally funded the government in past years and continued to do so to provide weaponry and funding to dismantle these protests. The NGO Amnesty International called on Spain to discontinue these exports citing it as "lethal repression." The security forces came in with assault weapons and in one incident opened fire on protesters. Amnesty International interpreted that the President should be held criminally responsible for the deaths and injuries that the protesters had sustained.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-07-18 |title=Peru: Killings and injuries in protests could implicate president and chain of command as criminally responsible |url=https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2024/07/peru-killings-injuries-protests-president-chain-command-criminally-responsible/ |access-date=2024-08-11 |website=Amnesty International |language=en}}</ref>
