Objective

Plan Verde (Spanish for "Green Plan", IPA: [ˌplam ˈbeɾ.ð̞e]) was a clandestine military operation developed by the armed forces of Peru during the internal conflict in Peru; it involved the control or censorship of media, the forced sterilization of vulnerable populations and neoliberal economic reforms under the control of a military junta in Peru. Initially drafted in October 1989 in preparation for a coup d'état to overthrow President Alan García, large parts of the plan were implemented after the victory of political outsider Alberto Fujimori in the 1990 Peruvian general election and his established control following the 1992 Peruvian self-coup. Most notably, the Fujimori administration carried a campaign of compulsory sterilization affecting more than 300,000 people.

Plan Verde was first leaked to the public by Peruvian magazine Oiga, shortly after the coup, with a small number of other media outlets also reporting access to the plan's documents.
