Peruvian President Dina Boluarte signed a controversial amnesty law protecting military and police from prosecution for human rights abuses during past conflicts. Supporters claim the law honors sacrifices made by government forces, calling it a historic moment for justice. However, critics argue it violates international law and denies justice to survivors of abuse. The decade-long conflict in Peru resulted in approximately 70,000 deaths, with ongoing investigations into abuses. Many fear the amnesty law will halt these probes, safeguarding those involved in human rights violations, while also offering amnesty to older convicted individuals.
The amnesty law, signed by President Dina Boluarte, shields military and police from prosecution for human rights abuses during Peru's internal conflict, facing global condemnation.
Critics express concerns that the new legislation will hinder ongoing investigations into human rights abuses, potentially undermining accountability for past atrocities committed during the conflict.
