Approval of amendments to Legislative Decrees 726 and 743
The Chamber of Deputies approves modifications to legislative decrees 726 and 743 on national pacification, which regulated the entry of law enforcement forces to universities and civilian participation in national defense. This occurred in the midst of growing tensions between the Executive and the Congress.
The Chamber of Deputies approves bills modifying legislative decrees 726 and 743 on national pacification enacted by the Executive Branch. Decree 726 allowed the entry of the forces of law and order into university premises in case of flagrante delicto. Decree 743 established civilian participation in the National Defense System. These modifications took place in the context of increasingly open confrontations between President Alberto Fujimori and the Parliament. The modifications were part of a set of 28 bills approved during an extraordinary self-convened legislature that modified or repealed legislative decrees of the Executive.
