Peru's change of mind

Peru has reacted. Some days ago, we wrote here expressing our preoccupation, as an Executive Order had been adopted that could lead to impunity in human rights cases. The Peruvian Congress has repealed it this week.
Congratulations from a human rights perspective.
You can follow the corresponding press release issued by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights:
