“The Code and the Association have provided us with the necessary tools, experiences and opportunities for exchange that are essential to do positive work on such a complex issue as security and human rights. We use its concepts and practices to contribute to the relationship between extractive companies and private security providers, as well as  the national police and civil society. It has served to guide the national entity in charge of regulating private security in Peru. “
