On June 5, 1985, Legislative Decree 24150 was enacted, which established rules to be complied with during states of exception (or emergency) in which the Armed Forces assume control of internal order, in all or part of the national territory. This legislative decree regulated the states of emergency and the attributions of the military political commands during these exceptional periods. The enactment of this norm took place in the context of the fight against the subversion of the PCP-SL and the MRTA, providing a legal framework for military intervention in emergency zones.
