10 of the road systems, they reported that the benefitting communities submitted to the “Presidential Cabinet” during a visit to Rabinal, Baja Verapaz, a petition to conduct urgent actions to comply with this paragraph, prior to the beginning of winter “which complicates this type of improvements that could be conducted at this time, further affecting the roads between these two communities,” but that they have not obtained any results (subparagraph b) of operative paragraph 9.) They also requested that the State report on the progress made on the construction of the Health Center at Plan de Sanchez (sub-paragraph e) of operative paragraph 9). 33. That on this issue the Commission observed that regarding the obligations contained in this reparation, the State has not contributed sufficient information on its compliance. It added that it considered essential for the State to be asked to provide specific information on “the plans, programs and projects that it has designed or is designing in order to present and diffuse the Maya Achí culture, as well as substantial advances on this obligation (sub-paragraph a) of operative paragraph 9), to provide maintenance and improve the roadways between the communities [indicated] in the Judgment (subparagraph b) of operative paragraph 9), to develop the water sewage system and the supply of potable water (sub-paragraph c) of operative paragraph 9) and to provide skilled teaching personnel for elementary and secondary education in these communities (subparagraph d) of operative paragraph 9)” (supra Having Seen 6). The Commission took cognizance of “the non-compliance on these aspects of the reparation [...] and requested the Court to urge the State to comply with the mentioned obligations and report on these as soon as possible.” 34. That the Court regards as positive what was reported by the State in terms of the performance of actions to comply with subparagraphs a) and e) of operative paragraph 9, regarding the study and dissemination of the Maya-Achí culture, and the construction of a health center in Plan de Sanchez. However, it verified that none of the state reports make reference to any specific measure adopted to comply with sub-paragraphs b), c) and d) of that operative paragraph, which relate to the maintenance and improvement of the roadways, sewage system and potable water supply, and the provision of skilled teaching personnel in the benefitting communities. Consequently, in consideration of what is established in the Judgment (supra Having Seen 1), this Court believes that the State must perform all necessary actions to give full compliance to these reparation measures and report on the progress of the implementation, taking into account that, according to paragraph 117 of the Judgment, the measures ordained therein must be implemented in a term that must not exceed five years beginning on December 7, 2004, date on which the Judgment was served to the parties. * * * 35. That in relation to operative paragraphs 10, 11, 13, 14 and 15 of the Judgment (supra Having Seen 1), and Considering Paragraphs 21 to 42 of the Order from August 5, 2008 (supra Having Seen 3), relating to the payment for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages, this Court considers appropriate to refer again to the situation of certain victims or their families in relation to the execution of the compensation payment established in the Judgment. 36. That in its report of November 25, 2008, the State expressed that on August 15, 2008 it paid the full amount and interest corresponding to Ms. Salome Ic Rojas, through her legal representative Mr. Fernando Suc Ic, and submitted the respective payment
