Enactment of DL Nº 740 on peasant patrols.
Enactment of Decree Law No. 740, which established the legal framework for the recognized peasant patrols, as part of the government's strategy to formalize civilian participation in the counter-subversive struggle.
On November 8, 1991, Decree Law No. 740 was enacted, days before the enactment of DL No. 741 on Self-Defense Committees. This decree established that the peasant patrols recognized by Law No. 24571 (mentioned but not completed in the text) would have a specific legal framework. The decree was part of a broader government strategy to formalize the participation of the civilian population in the counter-subversive struggle. A year later, on November 11, 1992, the government promulgated the Regulations for the organization and functions of the Self-Defense Committees, complementing the legal framework established by the 1991 decrees.
