The Special Rapporteur transmitted these complaints to the Deputy Minister of Justice, while complaints in writing will be transmitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. V. THE ANDEAN COMMUNITY 65. Peru is a State member of the Andean Community, along with Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela. The Secretary-General of the Community explained to the Special Rapporteur that the Andean countries had decided to pool their efforts so that their citizens can travel freely in the subregion, whether for tourism or for work. 66. The Andean Charter for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights contains provisions relating to migrants.28 In 2001, with the adoption of Decision No. 503, the Community recognized national identity documents as the only document needed by nationals and foreigners resident in the member countries to travel in the subregion as tourists. The Andean Council of Ministers of Foreign Affairs adopted its Decision No. 545 on an “Andean Labour Migration Instrument”29 in June 2003; its objective is to establish standards progressively and gradually to permit nationals of States members of the Andean Community to travel freely and live anywhere in the subregion for the purpose of taking up an employment contract (art. 1). Subsequently, Decision No. 548 established an Andean cooperation mechanism for consular assistance and migrant affairs, for individuals who are nationals of any of the States members of the Andean Community and for various reasons are outside their country of origin (art. 2). In accordance with this instrument, a national of any Community country who is in the territory of a third State, or in a place where his or her country of origin has no diplomatic or consular representation, may receive protection from the diplomatic or consular authorities of any other member State30 (art. 4). 67. The agenda of the Community features the adoption of a Community standard for the recognition of academic degrees and professional diplomas. Mechanisms will be established to facilitate residence and make it possible to respond to offers of employment in the subregion, and common standards will be established for work, social security, health and security of employment. 68. The Secretary-General of the Community said that one of the problems which had to be dealt with was the scarcity of resources for the protection, assistance and integration of migrants; in his opinion, international cooperation agencies could make a contribution in that respect. The meeting of the Special Rapporteur with the Secretary-General of the Community took place at the same time as the 10th Meeting of the Andean Committee of Migration Authorities, held in Lima from 30 September to 1 October 2004. The agenda for the meeting included the regulations for Decision No. 548 and the adoption of a joint position within the South American Conference on International Migration for the High-Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development due to be held at the United Nations General Assembly in 2006. VI. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 69. In the light of this report, the Special Rapporteur invites the Government of Peru to consider the following conclusions and recommendations.
