Abstract
This article examines how efforts to hold Alberto Fujimori, president of Peru from 1990 to 2000, accountable for human rights violations and to build safeguards against a recurrence of those violations have set important precedents for international human rights law and practice. Among the key developments his crimes have provoked are new protections for democracy as a human right via the Inter-American Democratic Charter; international legal precedents banning the use of amnesties for human rights crimes and the use of military courts to try alleged terrorists; and the extradition of a democratically elected former head of state for human rights violations and his conviction for those crimes by the courts of his own country.
