Judgment must appear before the official mechanism mentioned in the following
section (infra para. 311) and prove their relationship with said victims. Genetic
filiation or, when appropriate, pertinent documents (supra para. 257.b)), will be the
suitable means to establish this.
310. When mortal remains are found and identified, the State must deliver them
as soon as possible to their next of kin, once filiation has been genetically proven, for
them to be honored in accordance with their respective beliefs. If no next of kin
