13 65. The State objected to the inclusion of the appendix submitted by the Commission containing the report on the visit that representatives of the Human Rights Commission of the Chilean Parties of Democratic Reconciliation made to Peru. The State argued that it was without merit and invalid, inasmuch the report’s allegations to the effect that the State had failed to comply with the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations had never been conveyed to the State via the appropriate diplomatic channels. 66. The Court is ordering that those documents that were neither disputed nor challenged and those whose authenticity was never in doubt are admitted into evidence. As regards the document listed under paragraph 64.e), to which the State objected, the Court reserves the right to evaluate it and, if it so decides, admit it into evidence. As to the allegation concerning the alleged violation of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, the Court finds that by now the allegation and the information to which the State objected are irrelevant and immaterial, given the Court’s judgment on the preliminary objections. *** 67. In its answer to the application, the State submitted the following instruments, among others, as evidence: a) b) decisions in the internal proceedings against the alleged victims;10 and documentation on terrorism in Peru today. 11 68. The documents presented and referred to in the preceding paragraph were neither disputed nor challenged, nor was their authenticity questioned. Therefore, the Court admits them and orders that they be added to the evidence. *** 69.
