International Criminal Law in full evolution (with its impact on the States’ domestic law). In my opinion, the Law is just one, and all these aspects must be treated from the perspective of a necessarily integrating hermeneutics. 100. In the present sphere of protection of human beings, there is still a long way to go, despite the important progress of the doctrine and practice of international law in the previous years. The first steps have been taken, both nationally and internationally, in the fight against impunity and in favor of the prevalence of the right to trust and justice. In its request for interpretation, of March 15, 2007, of the Judgment of merits and reparations in the present case of the Castro Castro Prison, the Peruvian State invoked the right to truth (para. 52), while acknowledging the work in favor of this right carried out in Peru by he Commission for Truth and Reconciliation (para. 5(20)), duly taken into consideration by the Inter-American Court (para. 5(23)). 101. The appellant State referred to the proven “multiplicity of criminal acts” perpetrated by members of Sendero Luminoso84 that victimized the population and “remain in the nation’s collective conscience," (para. 5(20)), while acknowledging that they “are not a direct party to this case” of the Castro Castro Prison (para. 5(2)). It is understandable that the appellant State would evoke, in the same brief, the protection of all victims (para. 6(20)), of the tragic armed conflict that flagellated the country, and specifically its population, as well as search for a clarification of the applicable law and the recent doctrinal progress in this regard (para. 6(2)). 102. What is not true (precise) is to presume that the international juridical system is not built for situations such as those of the mentioned Peruvian armed conflict (para. 6(27)). The considerations previously developed by me reveal a series of complexities that instead lead to precisions with regard to the applicable law (cf. supra). But – I allow myself to insist on this matter – nothing is beyond the protection of the Law. In what refers to the Inter-American Court, its jurisdiction, in the terms of the American Convention, it is directed towards the determination of the State’s responsibility, for which it must confine itself to the facts stated in the application. But the regulations on protection of the American Convention do not exclude the concomitant application of pp. 25-28 y 195-197; A.A.
