Regulations for the organization and functions of the Self-Defense Committees.

On November 11, 1992, the government promulgated the Regulation on the Organization and Functions of the Self-Defense Committees. This regulation was promulgated one year after Legislative Decrees No. 740 and No. 741 of November 1991, which had established the legal framework for the recognition of the Self-Defense Committees. The regulation established the rules for the organization and functioning of these civilian organizations that had emerged to fight against subversion. The military presence meant greater repression and the formation of counter-subversive peasant patrols, although with a different policy to that followed in Ayacucho, opting for disappearances and selective assassinations instead of indiscriminate repression.
