A law to forgive all the crimes, that possibly, police and army force operators committed during the war against Sendero Luminoso and MRTA between 1980 and the year 2000 was approved by the Peruvian parliament. This law, as to be directly in violation of the most elementary and important international laws for protection of victims and condemnation of crimes against the life and integrity of human beings, already put in alert the International Court of Human Rights. The president of Peru, looking for her near imprisonment after leaving her political charge, accused the international tribunals of violating the sovereign of the country and menaces to abandon the international agreements on these matters signed decades ago. Clearly Peru is going back to the Stone Age. The President is investigated to have ordered the shooting, by snipers, of manifesting groups during the riots against her government.
An independent and courageous judge in Peru, left without effect the new law following the clear criteria of the Peruvian Constitution that obliged a judge to choose always a Constitutional law if deferred from a normal and common law, especially in reference of the rights and protection of the fundamental necessary care for the life and health of the citizens.
A military who let people without food for days, tortured them, shot them and hid the body’s of poor innocent peasants accused to be terrorists, he was condemned to 30 years of jail.
