Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
Law N° 32301 (published 11 April 2025, approved in Congress in final form late 2024) amends the statute of the Agencia Peruana de Cooperación Internacional (APCI) to expand state oversight of non-governmental organisations receiving international cooperation funds. Key provisions: mandatory APCI registration and prior approval for all international- funded activities, broad grounds for cancellation of registration, prohibitions on using international cooperation resources for strategic litigation against the Peruvian state, expanded sanctions with fines up to 500 UIT, reporting obligations on expenditures. Critics (IACHR, UN Special Rapporteurs, Coordinadora Nacional de Derechos Humanos) argued the law restricts civic space and targets human-rights, environmental, and anti-corruption NGOs investigating executive conduct.

Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
