Law that annuls the decree on military personnel
Congress repealed by law the supreme decree that granted impunity to military and police officers in emergency zones by considering them to be on permanent duty 24 hours a day.
The Congress enacts a law that supersedes Supreme Decree 171-90-PCM that had been issued in December 1990. This supreme decree established that the actions of members of the Peruvian Armed Forces and National Police in areas declared in a state of emergency were subject to military justice, and provided that police and Armed Forces personnel accredited in emergency zones remained on duty 24 hours a day. The law of Congress eliminated this patent of impunity that considered police and military personnel on duty 24 hours a day in emergency zones.
