MINJUSDH develops a class that details the legislative procedure.In the Legal Classroom of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights (MINJUSDH) the topic The approval and promulgation of laws in Peru was addressed, where the fundamental role of norms in the social organization and democratic functioning of the State was explained.
In the class, taught by the lawyer specializing in regulatory development and regulatory quality, Liz Ninoska Cornejo Ortega, it was highlighted that legal norms constitute essential tools that the State uses to organize people in society, protect rights and duties, resolve conflicts, and develop public policies aimed at general well-being.

According to Law 26300, citizens can present legislative initiatives to the Congress of the Republic supported by 0.3% of signatures of the national electoral population, which is currently equivalent to approximately 80,000 valid signatures.
It was indicated that, in addition to citizens, congressmen, the president of the republic, the Judiciary, autonomous public institutions such as the Comptrollers Office of the Republic and the Ombudsmans Office, regional and local governments, and professional associations have legislative initiative.
It was detailed that the legislative process in Congress includes several stages: presentation of the bill, evaluation in specialized committees by subject, issuance of an opinion, debate and approval in plenary, and sending the signature to the Executive Branch.
Meanwhile, the president of the republic has 15 days to promulgate the rule or can observe it. If the period passes without promulgation, Congress can promulgate them. In case of observation, Congress can accept the corrections or approve the law by insistence with a larger vote.
The specialist highlighted that the Ministry of Justice, through the Directorate of Legal Systematization and Dissemination, is in charge of systematizing all the regulations published in the Official Gazette El Peruano. This information is available for citizen consultation in the Peruvian Legal Information System (SPIJ), with updates every 24 to 48 hours.
