Abstract

This article examines the introduction of the Peruvian Office of the Ombudsman in the 1993 Constitution, its legal development and its operation since the official start of its activities in 1996 up to now. There have been three phases in the performance of the Office of the Ombudsman in Peru. The first, during the regimen of President Fujimori, when their performance spaces were reduced due to the absence of a democratic government. However, during this phase the Office of the Ombudsman was consolidated and obtained impressive levels of legitimacy, becoming the only independent public institution. A second phase occurred during the democratic transition. The third one has a good enviroment to carry-out its activities as a result of living in a democratic. goverment.The Office of the Ombudsman has identified a set of structural problems which form the basic agenda of their performance. This has allowed it to consolidate its public legitimacy. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
