Constitutional Court declares anti-terrorism legislation null and void
Constitutional Court annuls Fujimori's anti-terrorist legislation for due process violations
In 2002, in response to the rulings of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights on due process violations in Peru, the Constitutional Court declared null and void a large part of the so-called anti-terrorist legislation enacted by the government of former President Alberto Fujimori. As a result, the Peruvian State was forced to retry, in trials that met international standards, a significant number of leaders and members of subversive organizations who had been convicted under the previous legislation.
