32 Systematic and Generalized Practices of Illegal and Arbitrary Detentions, Torture, Extra-legal Executions and Forced Disappearances during the time the events of the instant case took place. 80(1) Arbitrary executions were a systematic practice carried out in the backdrop of the contra-subversive strategy of State agents, especially during the hardest times of the conflict (1983-1984 and 1989-1992). 80(2) The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Perú (hereinafter, “CVR”, for its acronym in Spanish) concluded that during the period 1989-1992 said practice of arbitrary executions spread to a great part of the national territory, they were more selective and were carried out in combination with other forms of elimination of persons who were suspected of participating, co-operating or sympathizing with subversive organizations, such as the 17 forced disappearance of persons. 80(3) The arbitrary execution procedure used by government officials generally consisted of the identification of the victim, and his/her detention, either at home, in a public place, at road control posts, during raids or when the victim contacted a public agency. Generally, detentions were violently carried out by so many hooded, armed persons that they could break any resistance. Victims detained at home or at a road control post had been previously identified and trailed during some time. Afterwards, the victim was transferred to a public, police or military premises, where he/she was interrogated and tortured. The information thus obtained was processed “for military purposes” and they decided if the person was released, arbitrarily executed or if he/she would be kept as a "missing" person without leaving any trace.18 80(4) Regarding the forced disappearances implemented during the time the events of the instant case took place, the CVR concluded that said practice “was a mechanism to fight subversion that was systematically used by Government agents from 1988 to 1993 [… and that] was extended to great part of the national territory,” The CVR further found that "between years 1988 and 1993, the rate of fatal victims of this practice was about 65-75% of the cases" and that "members of the Armed Forces are attributed the major rate (over 60%) of victims of forced disappearance caused by government agents.”19 80(5) The modus operandi of forced disappearances was similar to that of arbitrary executions. The CVR explained in detail the stages of this complex practice: “selection of the victim, detention, deposit of the victim in a detention center, contingent transfer to other detention center, interrogation, torture, processing of the data obtained, decision to eliminate the victim, physical elimination, concealment of victim´s remains and use of State resources.” The common denominator in the whole process was “the denial of the detention 17 Cf.
