Since the years 1996 to 2000, the
Peruvian pro-life friends have denounced the coercive birth control
policy targeting
mainly the Indian populations, with the help of foreign eugenicist
organizations
like UNFPA (UNO).
In June 2002 an inquiry commission
of the Peruvian Congress published a report on the forced sterilization
campaign of the former president Fujimori. This report details how
this campaign used coercion to perform the quotas of
sterilizations, and how it was financed by international organizations
which were related to this campaign. 331,600 women and 25,900 men
were sterilized under various pressures.
The commission concluded that Fujimori was guilty of
genocide and that UNFPA worked as "technical secretary"
for the campaign.
The World Bank, the IMF and USAID were also in the
blow, as well as the local Social Security.
Various "human rights" defense groups ended up
understanding that forced sterilization was not a part of
human rights. And this affair showed up in USA because
USAID was an accessory.
But the showing up of this scandal in the mainstream
worldwide press [Le
Monde Diplomatique (June 2004), Arte TV (May 29, 2003), La Croix
(July 26, 2002), Libération (July 15, 2002)]
is mainly due to the legal adventures related to the suit against
Fujimori, now refugee in Japan.
When will we hear about suits against UNFPA and the
other accessories?
