Decree Law 20530.149 Both judgments handed down by the Court point out that court rulings restoring certain labor and pension rights to the victims were not executed. 105. For its part, in connection with one of those cases, the IACHR maintained that the Peruvian State's failure to comply with judgments "distorts the practice and meaning of administration of justice and diminishes the trust felt by members of the Association in the pronouncements of judges." 150 The Commission has also admitted several cases alleging the same problem, 151 which are currently awaiting a decision on the merits. 106. Along the same lines, the Commission observes that in October 1998, the Ombudsperson's Office issued a report entitled "Failure by the State Administration to Comply with Judgments." 152 The Ombudsperson's Office singled out as one issue in the Judiciary the failure to execute judgments against a State entity.153 It stated that since the Office had been established in 1993, it had processed some 101 complaints filed against a number of State entities for failure to comply with final judgments against them. 154 It pointed out that over half the complaints referred to "court mandates on labor matters that are then ignored."155 The Office of the Ombudsperson explained that the vast majority of cases refer to judicial mandates that "involve complying with a financial obligation [such as] the adjustment of pensions”156. 107. The IACHR takes note that the Ombudsperson's Office pronounced expressly on cases of judgments admitting amparo actions brought by former workers seeking payment of their pensions pursuant to Decree Law 20530.157 In its report ,the Ombudsperson's Office concluded that (...) failure to execute a judgment against a State entity would amount to evasion of the State's responsibility to comply with its obligations (...). The judge enforcing the judgment must render criminal liability effective by filing the corresponding complaint against public servants who fail to comply with judicial mandates either through a flat refusal, or by unreasonably delaying compliance with some 149 I/A Court HR.
