Peru’s Acting Congress Chief Presses Judiciary to Apply Law 32107, Citing Recent Rulings

He warns that ignoring statutes validated by the Constitutional Court undermines legal certainty.

Overview

  • Acting congressional leader Fernando Rospigliosi urged judges to respect the separation of powers and enforce laws approved by Parliament.
  • He focused on Law 32107 on crimes against humanity, which he says has been validated by the Constitutional Court.
  • Rospigliosi alleged that some magistrates are refusing to apply the law, calling that stance illegal and unconstitutional.
  • He cited recent actions including the sentencing of retired colonel Roberto Villar Chamorro, rulings in the Cayara case, decisions tied to El Frontón, and a prosecutor’s summons to retired general Wilfredo Mori, 90.
  • He argued that uneven application of enacted statutes erodes legal certainty and pledged that Congress will continue defending the laws it passes.
