An ad hoc OAS commission arrives in Lima on April 21, 1992 to begin interviews with representatives of different political forces, following the coup d'état of April 5. The visit seeks to evaluate the constitutional situation of the country.
On April 21, 1992, the ad hoc commission of the Organization of American States (OAS) arrived in Lima and began interviews with representatives of the different political forces. This commission was sent after the meeting of OAS foreign ministers in Washington on April 13, where it was decided to "deplore" (and not "condemn") the coup d'état of April 5 perpetrated by Alberto Fujimori Fujimori. The arrival of the commission took place in a context of constitutional crisis, where the Congress had been dissolved and the Judiciary reorganized. The same day of the commission's arrival, Máximo San Román Cáceres was sworn in as constitutional president before members of the dissolved Congress at the Lima Bar Association.
