78. Regarding the judicial decisions on July 16, 2003, the Constitutional Court ruled that the norm that established the impossibility of returning to the Judiciary and Public Prosecution Service for non-ratified judges and prosecutors, considered that such prohibition: [was] therefore incongruous with the institution of ratification, since […] this did not constitute a sanction, but a vote of confidence regarding the exercise of the role […] the prohibition of re-entering the judicial career is equated [as regulated] to a sanction the imposition of which […] is not a consequence of having committed an offense. […] For this reason […] the non-ratified magistrates are not prevented from re-applying to the Judiciary or the Public Prosecution Service. 54 79. Furthermore, on August 12, 2005 the Constitutional Court, with the entry into force of the Constitutional Procedural Code, established the possibility of constitutionally challenging the decisions of the CNM in court, when they are unfounded and/or when they have been issued without audience of the interested party. 55 Similarly, a judgment of the Constitutional Court of November 8, 2005, 56 established “the doctrine of the ability to review administrative decisions, in order to safeguard the protection of fundamental rights, and it was established that inability to be reviewed is a doctrine not admitted, [given] that it is possible that the jurisdictional bodies carry out review of constitutionality on any act with legal relevance, however, this review of the decision, if applicable, will not lead to the modification of a Resolution that would have respected due process.” Subsequently, through the constitutional reform enacted on January 9, 2019, Law No. 80. 30904, Constitutional Reform Law on the formation and functions of the National Council of the Judiciary (hereinafter also “JNJ”), articles 154, 155 and 156 of the Political Constitution of Peru were modified, and Law No. 26397, Organic Law of the CNM, and its respective regulations were repealed. With the issuance of said regulation, the CNM ceased to exist to give way to the National Council of the Judiciary, an entity that would be in charge of the appointment and evaluation of the performance of the country's judges and prosecutors, in addition to the administrative sanctions, such as dismissal, among others. 57 Similarly, the regulations for the evaluation and ratification process have been amended on various occasions. The Regulations for the Comprehensive Evaluation and Ratification Process for Judges of the Judiciary and Prosecutors of the Public Prosecution Service, indicated by the State as currently in force, was approved by the National Council of the Judiciary through Resolution No. 260-2020-JNJ on December 9, 2020. 58 81.
