Peru: The Trial of Alberto Fujimori

International Center for Transitional Justice

Prosecutors, defense attorneys and victims’ legal representatives expect the Special Criminal Chamber of Peru’s Supreme Court to issue its verdict in the trial of former president Alberto Fujimori in late March.

Fujimori is on trial for human rights offenses including kidnappings and murders carried out by a military death squad. He is the first former head of state in Latin America to be extradited and brought to trial for human rights violations.

The International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ), which has closely followed the trial, presented an amicus curiae brief to the court on legislation and judicial precedent in Latin America related to the criminal responsibility of senior officials accused of human rights violations committed by their subordinates.

The ICTJ also presented a study on the value of three types of documents in criminal proceedings: decisions of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, declassified US government documents, and truth commission reports.

“This trial is an emblematic criminal case in Latin America,” said Mariclarie Acosta, director of ICTJ’s Americas Program. “This is the first trial involving a former head of state who has been extradited and brought before a national court with all the judicial guarantees.”

Tiffany Legacy
As everyone knows, Tiffany rings are being looking at rings For those who are known for their gorgeous designs. Just like neckties for gentlemen. They are quite faultless, I think. Is perhaps the most retailers do not deal rose gold. I calm some delicate <a href=http://www.classictiffany.co.uk/tiffany-category/tiffany-rings/>tiffany   rings</a> of Tiffany, and around Moissanite face stones tile set in a substantial 14k gold or palladium site. It will out of girls. It’s been cut to highest brilliance, i.e., Same number of facets as a globular brilliant cut. The shaft is blob set with superstar. Platinum was a juicy and expensive metal even then, but its paleness and resistance to build a soften cut shape that It is inspired from Platinum, sheltered the shape and protected the facets.
