once, in the official gazette; (b) the official summary of this Judgment prepared by the Court, once,
in a national newspaper with widespread circulation, and (c) this Judgment in its entirety, available
for one year, on an official web site.
b)
Public act to acknowledge international responsibility
261. The Commission asked that the State acknowledge publicly its international responsibility
and also make a public apology for the violations declared in its Merits report.
262. The representatives ask that the State hold an act of public apology that dignified the
memory of Jeremías Osorio and the long struggle of his family members, after consulting them. In
their final written arguments, they reiterated that this act of public apology should be attended by
the most senior authorities, adding that it should be presided by the President in representation of
the State; moreover, during the act, the said authority should read the relevant parts of the
judgment. The act should be disseminated by a public communications medium with national
coverage, at a peak time, and it should be organized in consultation with the family.
263. The State did not present any objection to this measure, once the Court has delivered a
ruling in this case.
264. As it has in other cases, 392 the Court finds it necessary, in order to redress the harm caused
to the victims and to avoid a repetition of acts similar to those of this case, to establish that the
State must hold a public act to acknowledge international responsibility for the facts of this case.
During this act, reference must be made to the human rights violations declared in this Judgment.
Also, it must take place in a public ceremony in the presence of senior State officials and the
victims in this case. The State must reach agreement with the victims or their representatives on
how this public act of acknowledgement will be carried out, as well as its characteristics, such as
the place and date. To this end, the State has one year from notification of this Judgment.
c)
Scholarships
265. The representatives asked the Court to require the State to grant a scholarship in a
Peruvian public establishment to the children of Jeremías Osorio Rivera that would cover all the
costs of their education, from the moment the beneficiaries request this of the State and until the
conclusion of their higher education, whether vocational training or university studies.
266. The State underscored that its international responsibility for the facts denounced had not
been proved; however, it would abide by the decision of the Court in an eventual judgment.
267. The Court recognizes that the enforced disappearance of Jeremías Osorio Rivera resulted in
the loss of the person who supported the family, which has had serious repercussions on the life of
his children, including the effects on their possibilities of acquiring a formal education. 393
Consequently, the State must grant Edith Laritza Osorio Gaytán, Neida Rocío Osorio Gaitán,
Vannesa Judith Osorio Gaitán and Jersy Jeremías Osorio Gaitán a scholarship in a Peruvian public
establishment, agreed between each child of Jeremías Osorio Rivera and the State of Peru, to study
or to obtain vocational training. The scholarship must run from the time the beneficiaries request
