PERU: Peru's justice system to get a makeover
The groundbreaking inauguration of César San Martín on 3 January as
head of the supreme court could herald a transformation of the justice system.
His thumping election victory on 2 December 2010 ruffled more than a few
feathers in the Fujimorista electoral camp - he is most famous for
presiding over the trial of, and sentencing, former president Alberto Fujimori
(1990-2000). San Martín's ability to reform a judiciary imbued with corruption,
suffering from inefficiency and divorced from the population it is meant to
serve will depend greatly on his rapport with the executive branch.
