12 …[T]he State reiterated its willingness to enter into direct discussions in order to reach an effective solution ... to attack the validity of the procedural obstacles that impede the investigation and punishment of those who are found responsible in the instant case; we refer, in particular, to the amnesty laws. … …The formula of annulling the measures adopted within the context of impunity in this case is, in our opinion, sufficient to promote a serious and responsible procedure to remove all the procedural obstacles linked to the facts; above all, it is the formula that permits, and this is our interest, recovering procedural and judicial options to respond to the mechanisms of impunity that were implemented in Peru in the recent past, in accordance with the law, and opening up the possibility ... of bringing about a decision under domestic law, officially approved by the Supreme Court, that allows the efforts that... are being made to expedite ... these cases, to be brought to a successful conclusion. The Commission’s arguments 36.

I believe that this attitude of the Government of Peru gives us the opportunity to associate ourselves with the people of Peru, their Government and their civil society, to find creative solutions, which may subsequently be emulated and imitated throughout the hemisphere and beyond it. … [This case] is essentially a very serious and very sad case of extrajudicial executions committed by agents of the Government of Peru, acting unlawfully and clandestinely ... But, it is also about ... the deliberate imposition of legislative and judicial mechanisms to prevent the facts being known and prevent those responsible from being punished. This is why ..... it is not only about the gruesome events that occurred in Barrios Altos, but also about the attitude assumed by the former Government of Peru when it violated its international obligations by adopting laws, with the only purpose of granting impunity. ...In the coming days, weeks, months, these obstacles in the Peruvian legislation must be specifically removed so that the Barrios Altos victims may effectively have access to truth and justice and have recourses to enforce their rights before the State of Peru. …The circumstances are ripe for us to reach an agreement with the Government of Peru on the concrete meaning, the concrete conduct arising from its recognition of responsibility, and for this agreement on compliance to be officially endorsed by the Honorable Court as soon as possible, so that it constitutes an instrument that can subsequently be used, under Peru’s domestic laws, as a tool to destroy and remove the remaining obstacles in order to combat impunity in Peru. … …This is a historical moment [and…] we are very grateful and very honored, not only to be in the presence of the Court, but also in the presence of a Government that is taking, has taken and will continue to take important measures to ensure that human rights are fully guaranteed…
