The Constitutional Court of Peru has declined to confirm a resolution from the Inter-American Court of Human Rights that revoked a pardon granted to former dictator Alberto Fujimori, convicted of crimes against humanity.

The irregular issuance of a passport to criminal Sebastián Marset has reached the office of President Luis Lacalle.
