The objective of this forum was to provide a space to discuss how public security policies in El Salvador can respect and guarantee human rights for all.


The forum also sought to highlight a range of key actors who could outline the history of public security policy in El Salvador in recent years and their relationship to human rights; to reflect on the impact of militarization on human rights; to generate a space for reflection on international standards to consider in relation to public policy for citizen security from a democratic point of view; to generate a space for public authorities to implement and endorse these public policies; to demonstrate the comparative advantages of approaching security from a human rights perspective; and to strengthen and promote the participation of civil society in the construction and evaluation of security policy.
