Peru Military Justice Law Shields Police in Duty Cases

Peru's new military justice law requires police and military accused of crimes during duty to face military tribunals instead of civilian courts. The law was approved by lawmakers on June 23, 2026, with 52 votes in favor and 43 against. Civilian judges must close any ongoing ordinary court cases related to such cases.
