Fernando Belaúnde Terry (October 7, 1912 - June 4, 2002) was President of Peru for two terms (1963-1968 and 1980-1985). Deposed by a military coup in 1968, he was re-elected in 1980 after twelve years of military rule. During both terms, economic turbulence and the increase of guerrilla activities in the country led to human rights violations by both insurgents and the Peruvian armed forces. Nevertheless, he was recognized for his personal integrity and his commitment to the democratic process.
