The other, the Case of the Constitutional Court, concerns a chain of events in Peru that begins in April 1992, with the President, Alberto Fujimori, dissolving the Congress and the Constitutional Court, and dismissing a number of judges of the Supreme Court.Keywords: Case of the Constitutional Court; inter-American court of human rights; international humanitarian law; Las Palmeras case; sovereign states
