Peru – PL authorizes the creation of faceless courts to investigate, judge and punish crimes committed by criminal organizations in order to preserve the identity of the judges. With this measure, those accused of organized crime will not be able to meet the judges who are handling their case, since the latter will not be required to sign or initial judicial resolutions, since their identification will be maintained through codes designated by the Judiciary. Thus, the identity of the judges will be classified as confidential information and will not be freely accessible.
