The government again put on the debate the possible exit of Peru from the Inter -American Human Rights System, SIDH, Something that has been repeatedly requested by a majority of legislators and questioned from various sectors.
During his speech before the Plenary of Congress, where he went to expose his work plan and request the vote of trust, the Premier Eduardo Arana acknowledged that the permanence of our country In this system it is an aspect of great interest for Parliament and citizenship in general.
However, he recalled that, According to article 57 of the Constitution, it is the power of the Executive to adopt a sovereign decision on this issue, so he announced that he will propose to create a commission that evaluates “in a serious and responsible way” the permanence of Peru in the SIDH.
“As a Democrat, I propose before this honorable Parliament the creation of a commission composed of the Executive, the Legislative, Civil Society, Academy and Competent Institutions and Organizations, To evaluate, study and propose in a serious and responsible way a consensual decision on the continuity of Peru in said system, ”he emphasized.
He also stressed that the Government of Dina Boluarte “will not pay a penny of the public treasury in compensation established by international courts,” in favor of those who were tried and sentenced in Peru for crimes of terrorism.
While this news generated alarms, the truth is that it is not so easy to carry out such a proposal, since a series of steps and wait for the established deadlines must be followed.
SIDH is composed of a set of norms and institutions that are intended to ensure the promotion and protection of International Human Rights Law In our region.
The system was created within the framework of the Organization of American States, OAS, and is based on three treaties or resolutions: The American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man (1948), The Charter of the OAS (1948) and in the American Convention on Human Rights (1969).
