This article describes the political process of the OAS Dialogue Table in 2000 Peru. This space, though singular and hardly replicable, was a successful experience to boost the political transition from Alberto Fujimori´s government to the transition government of Valetin Paniagua and the dismantlement of Fujimori´s legal support that affected the horizontal accountability in the country. The achieved success resulted from four factors: 1) The shortfall of internal and external legitimacy of the third government of Alberto Fujimori; 2) the international acknowl- edgement of the Dialogue Table as a space to carry out political transition and democratiza- tion; 3) the union and strengthening of the opposition; and 4) the division and weakening of parliament governing party. Likewise, this political experience, that took place in Peru, became the boost and justification for the birth of the Inter-American Democratic Charter in 2001.
