This paper analyzes the current debtor default regime contained in the Peruvian Civil Code, in order to determine whether, despite the many voices against it, its applicable and appropriate for negative obligations. Based on a brief review of the debtor default regime and the nature of negative obligations, the authors scrutinize from a phenomenological and functional approach the opposing opinions to make these institutions compatible. Furthermore, based on an examination of the current status of the Peruvian Civil Code the authors argue that the application of the debtor default regime to negative obligations is not only possible but appropriate through an analog application of the current regime. Finally, they examine the regime proposed by the 2020 Draft Reform of the Peruvian Civil Code on the subject.

En el Perú, el Código civil guarda silencio respecto de la aplicación de la mora en las obligaciones de no hacer. Esto conlleva a plantearse si el solo silencio basta para descartar la aplicación del régimen moratorio en las obligaciones negativas. ¿Existen argumentos para respaldar su aplicabilidad?. De esta manera, la tesis realiza un análisis de la mora en el Código civil peruano con la finalidad de comprender si es viable la aplicación del régimen mora a todo tipo de obligaciones. Para lo cual, se presentan una serie de argumentos que permiten la aplicación de la mora en obligaciones negativas, donde se puede defender que el régimen moratorio que dicha ley recoge puede ser aplicable a este tipo de obligaciones a través de una interpretación analógica, sin necesidad de modificación legislativa alguna.
