Decree Law No. 25564 modifying the Penal Code

Decree Law No. 25564 was enacted on June 20, 1992 as part of the anti-terrorist legislation implemented after the coup d'état of April 1992. This norm modified Article 20° of the Penal Code in force. It was part of a set of decree laws issued during the government of Alberto Fujimori that established a new legal framework for the fight against terrorism. The decree was part of the emergency legislation that characterized the post-coup period, marked by the breakdown of the rule of law and the intervention of the justice system.
