Peru court admits challenge to law shielding police/military from civilian trial

Peru's Constitutional Court admitted a lawsuit from the Cusco Bar Association arguing Law 32735, promoted by Fernando Rospigliosi, unconstitutionally classifies all illegal acts by police and military during states of emergency as functional crimes, forcing their cases into military courts. The admission signals potential judicial review of a law that critics say enables impunity for abuses during emergency rule. The court's ruling could reshape accountability for security forces in Peru.
