E.O. 12958: N/A 
TAGS: ECIN ECON ELAB ETRD PE
SUBJECT: PERU: DOL REQUEST FOR EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION 
INFORMATION 
 
REF: STATE 81932 
 
1.  Per reftel, post provides the following information for 
mandatory US-Peru Free Trade Agreement reporting 
requirements.  The Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion 
(MTPE) provided the information cited, although in some cases 
the data requested was not available.  Responses are keyed to 
reftel. 
 
2.  Summary of Legislation Prohibiting Discrimination 
 
Law 26772 (passed April 17, 1997), Law 27270 (modifying Law 
26722 and passed May 29, 2000), and Supreme Decree 002-98-TR 
form the basis of Peruvian laws prohibiting employment 
discrimination.  The laws prohibit employers from using sex, 
race, religion, political orientation, or native language as 
criteria for hiring.  A worker who suffers employment 
discrimination in any of these categories can terminate 
employment and demand compensation independent of other 
benefits earned.  The employer is also subject to a fine. 
The MTPE sanctions employers who violate anti-discriminatory 
laws; the Ministry of Education has the responsibility for 
sanctioning institutions guilty of discrimination involving 
access to education. 
 
3.  Legal instruments prohibiting other aspects of 
discrimination 
 
Article 6 of Law 26626 prohibits employment discrimination 
based on a medical condition involving HIV or AIDS.  Article 
6 establishes that employees suffering from HIV or AIDS have 
the right to continue working as long as they are capable of 
performing their jobs; employees discharged because of a 
diagnosis of HIV or AIDs have the right to be rehired. 
 
Article 31 of Law 27050 makes it illegal for employers to 
deny employment or bar access to employment for persons with 
disabilities. 
 
4.  Other general laws prohibiting employment discrimination 
 
The following laws contain provisions prohibiting employment 
discrimination: the Peruvian Constitution; the military 
justice system; the penal code; University Law 23733 (which 
bans discrimination in university admissions); and 
Legislative Decree 267 (which recognizes the rights of 
servicemen to hold public office without regard to political, 
religious, economic, racial, or sexual background). 
 
5.  Legal consequences of discrimination 
 
The act of discrimination is defined as a crime in the 
Peruvian penal code.  Article 323 of the code establishes 
penalties for persons found guilty of discriminating directly 
or indirectly against individuals or groups and for persons 
publicly promoting discriminatory acts based on race, 
religion, sex, age, disability, language background, ethnic 
or cultural identity. 
 
The law establishes a sentence of not less than two years or 
more than three years for persons found guilty of employment 
discrimination. 
 
Article 25 of General Inspection Law 28806 prohibits "work 
discrimination, direct or indirect, in matters of employment 
or occupation in the following domains: hiring, discipline, 
workdays, training, promotion or other work conditions, based 
on race, color, sex, age, language, religion, political 
orientation, national identity, social origin, economic, 
class, union membership, disability, HIV/AIDS, or any other 
condition." 
 
6.  Government strategy to promote equal opportunity 
 
Supreme Directive 009-2005-MIMDES established the National 
Plan of Equal Opportunity for Women and Men.  The plan 
guarantees equal treatment and equal opportunities in 
employment for women and seeks to promote the full 
participation of women in the development of the country. 
 
The plan list timelines, actions, and entities responsible 
for accomplishing these goals and defines methods for 
evaluating the progress of the plan. 
 
In March 2007, the Law of Equal Opportunity for Women and 
Men, N 28983, was passed, which requires the government of 
Peru to promote and guarantee equal opportunity between the 
sexes by adopting temporary measures of affirmative action. 
The law requires the use of inclusive language by all levels 
of government in official documents. 
 
7.  Judicial institutions responsible for enforcing 
anti-discrimination statutes 
 
Disputes regarding acts of discrimination in the workplace 
are normally handled at the regional level, although all 
levels of the judicial system have the capacity to try cases 
regarding employment discrimination.  Cases involving 
constitutional rights can be submitted directly to the 
Constitutional Tribunal. 
 
8.  Post has obtained the source documents for the 
information provided and has forwarded them via expedited 
delivery to Kenneth Swinnerton; USDOL; 200 Constitution 
Avenue, NW; Room S-5303; Washington, DC 20210.
