Barrios Altos Massacre
In December 1991, the Peruvian Episcopal Conference published a significant document entitled 'Peace on Earth' in response to the Barrios Altos massacre. The document condemned the violence in Peru, highlighting the impact on poor communities and criticizing both terrorist groups and certain members of the security forces for human rights violations. The bishops called for peace, respect for life, and the restoration of democracy.
