Peru: Inter-American Court rules that the Peruvian courts should review the pardon granted to Fujimori

In a landmark judgment announced on 15 June 2018, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights ruled that the Peruvian courts must review whether the pardon granted to former President Alberto Fujimori constitutes an unnecessary and disproportionate impact on the right of access to justice of the victims of the Barrios Altos and La Cantuta cases. This sets a historic precedent for human rights, Amnesty International said today.
