“This law really approved is a blow, it is a slap to all those victims because they are amnestying prosecuted, convicted,” he said.
He also explained the reasons why it is an unconstitutional norm. “It goes against the international conventions to which Peru is subjected. It is obliged to comply with the Inter -American Human Rights System, which is part of our domestic law. It is recognized in our Constitution, therefore, Mrs. President has already approved an absolutely unconstitutional law and Congress also has responsibility there, but at the time, Don Fernando, the responsibilities will be given anyway,” he noted.
In that sense, he questioned the way in which the law was promulgated referring to the event that took place in the Palace along with the highest authorities.
Delia Espinoza lamented the way in which the law was promulgated: “With all pomp, with every celebration”
“In this case of the Amnesty Law that with all pomp, with every celebration (it has been promulgated), that has really been an insult to the victims of violation of human rights and here it is not about political issues, Don Fernando, it is simply respect for fundamental rights, life, to integrity and there are cases, there are very sad, very tragic cases that have occurred between the years 1980 and 2000 Terrorist crime, but there were also excesses of some, of some, approximately more or less 900, as I have reached the figure, of military and police who have committed violations of human rights and this law approved yesterday really is a blow, it is a slap to all those victims, “he said.
Therefore, she considered that the president “had a great opportunity” to oppose the norm, however, decided to approve it in a ceremony.
