37 ii) Measures adopted by the State regarding Decree Law No. 2.191 82(24) To the date of this judgment, six bills of law aimed at amending Decree Law No. 2.191 were submitted. Two of these bills89 proposed an interpretation of the aforementioned decree law through another law, and set forth that the decree should not be enforced regarding crimes against humanity given the impossibility to declare them extinguished and susceptible of amnesty. The third bill90 was aimed at extending the period covered by the Decree Law until March 11, 1990. The fourth bill91 sought to prevent the commencement of proceedings to impose liability upon those individuals mentioned as perpetrators, accomplices or accessories after the fact, “rendering any criminal or civil action related thereto extinguished” and suggested that any pending lawsuits should be definitely dismissed “without further proceedings.” The fifth bill92 was intended to regulate the application of the Decree Law and to establish that, in the case of detained-disappeared persons, the judge should continue investigating “with the sole aim of discovering the location of the victims or their remains.” None of the five bills was passed. The sixth bill93 was recently submitted and its purpose is to declare Decree Law No. 2.191 invalid under public law. The Court ignores the current status of the legislative processing of this bill. 82(25) In the last few years, the Judiciary of Chile has not applied Decree Law No. 2.191 in several cases.94 89 Cf.
