58 acknowledged by the State in these proceedings (above paras. 40 to 46 and 80(1) to 80(8)). The CVR also identified the existence of a pattern, the modus operandi and encoded procedures proper to the structure of the organized power used for planning and executing those practices. Furthermore, the report points out to the resources and means of the State used in the complex organization and logistics associated with forced disappearances, the systematic denials of detentions and knowledge of the facts by the security forces, as well as the obstruction of investigation, if any, by way of concealment or destruction of evidence, including the mutilation and incineration of the remains of the victims (above paras. 80(1) to 80(8)). 89. In turn, the State Legislature has also taken part in this institutional acknowledgement. At the beginning, in April 1993, in spite of the times of distress in Perú, especially owing to the pressure of Army authorities, the so-called Democratic Constituent Congress created an Inquiry Committee, who was informed of the latest investigations findings as well as other testimonies provided by relatives of the alleged victims, by alumni and authorities of the La Cantuta University, and by General Hermoza-Ríos, who was the then Army Commander General. Even though the opinion report prepared by the majority of the members of the said Committee was rejected on June 26, 1993, by the Constituent Congress, that report revealed the existence of the presumption of criminal liability of highcommand army officers for the events in La Cantuta. The Congress approved the opinion report prepared by the minority, which concluded that neither the Peruvian army nor the National Intelligence Service nor the then advisor to said intelligence service were to be held responsible for the facts under investigation (above paras. 80.25, 80.26 and 80.29). 90. Later, on July 20, 2005, the Peruvian Congress passed Law No. 28592 —“A Bill creating the Comprehensive Plan for Reparations (PIR)”— the subject matter of which was to establish the Legal Framework [of said plan] for the victims of the acts of violence that took place over the period between May 1980 and November 2000, pursuant to the conclusions and recommendations stated in the report of the CVR. Notwithstanding the statements below (below paras. 211and 212), this type of laws reflect the will to remedy certain detrimental consequences of what the State acknowledges as severe violations of human rights perpetrated in a systematic and generalized fashion. 91. In turn, the Judiciary had rendered certain judgments and resolutions relating to investigations and proceedings initiated in connection with the events under review in this instant case, as well in some other cases, that clearly described the above context and determined the scope of participation and liability of the Colina Group and high-command officers of the then Government for the events committed.88 88 For instance, the complaint filed on January 21, 2003, by the Provincial Specialized Prosecutor’s Office in case No. 03-2003; judgment of Mary 20, 2006, of the National Criminal Chamber in file No. 111-04, in re Ernesto Castillo Páez; judgment of December 9, 2004, of the Peruvian Constitutional Tribunal, as per the Habeas Corpus action filed by Gabriel Orlando Vera-Navarrete, file No. 2798-04-HC/TC. Furthermore, resolution of September 6, 2004, of the “Ad hoc State Prosecutor’s Office for the Cases Montesinos and Fujimori,” pursuant to which a complaint was filed against Vladimiro Montesinos-Torres, Nicolás Hermoza-Ríos and Luis Pérez-Documet with the Provincial Criminal Prosecutor’s Office Specialized in Crimes against Human Rights, stated as follows (record of Appendixes to application, Appendix 42(d): More than one hundred scheduled, organized and systematic crimes were examined, which —from the scope of the Executive’s incumbency— were perpetrated as part of a policy of terror. Severe offenses that undoubtedly conformed to and were part of an ordinary criminal plan, design or pattern. And this is so because, in fact, the perpetration of hideous and several criminal acts, such as the ones committed in La Cantuta, was the result of criminal concert that implied the creation ad development of the so-called Colina Group, fostered, supported and later protected by Vladimiro Montesinos-Torres and Alberto Fujimori-Fujimori.
