Garcia v. Peru, Case 11.006, Report No. 1/95, Inter-Am.C.H.R., OEA/Ser.L/V/II.88 rev.1 Doc. 9 at 71 (1995). Peruvian law provides a special procedure for investigating and judging crimes of which the officials referred to in article 183 of the Constitution, including the President and members of both chambers of the Senate, are accused. The Peruvian Constitution, like the constitutions of other democratic states, provides that the role of the armed forces is to guarantee the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic; they therefore have no authority to arrest civilians. As the petitioners, and the Commission in its report, have pointed out, the justices of the Peruvian Supreme Court, of the Tribunal of Constitutional Guarantees and of the Judiciary Council were removed from their posts by several decrees issued by the Executive Power. www.umn.edu /humanrts/cases/1-95-peru.htm   (1222 words)

Mariátegui's Thought, the political expression of the Peruvian working class, was forged and developed amidst the class struggle and not outside it; thus, to understand it well, it must necessarily be linked to the struggles internationally and in our country. In contributing to the building of our Party, Mariátegui gave it the ideological-political bases we find in the Act of Constitution, the Party Program. www.redsun.org /pcp_doc/pcp_1075.htm   (1002 words)
