COMPLAINT  FILED BY THE   
          INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS  
        AGAINST  
THE PERUVIAN STATE  

In connection with the events that began on May 14, 1988
in the district of  
CAYARA

• Complaint filed by the IACHR against the Peruvian State

• Appendixes

• Resolution Nº1/91

• Reply of the Government of Peru to the IACHR

• Report 29/91

On February 16, 1992 the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights pursuant to Article 61 of the American Convention submitted for consideration of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, a complaint against the Government of Peru, in connection with the events that began on May 14, 1988 in the District of Cayara, Province of Victor Fajardo, Department of Ayacucho. 

          In March 1992 the Government of Peru filed twelve preliminary objections to the complaint submitted by the Commission. 

          In a judgment issued on February 3, 1993, the Court declared that the petition was filed after the expiration deadline stipulated in Article 51.1 of the Convention, and did not address the merits of the case. 

          Because it considered this to be a matter of general interest, the Commission, at its 83rd session, decided to publish in a single document the complaint, Report Nº 29/91 of February 20, 1991, Resolution Nº 1/91 of November 11, 1991 and the response of the Government of Peru to that Report, which were attached to the complaint filed by the Commission.
