3 Inter-American Court on September 5, 1984, these situations have continued subsequent to that acceptance. Accordingly, the Inter-American Court has jurisdiction to rule on the human rights violations for which the State of Argentina is responsible since the acceptance of the contentious jurisdiction of the Court, i.e., the violation of the right to personal liberty of the victims by maintaining them in a situation of preventive detention that exceeded the limits of reasonableness and the right to be trial within a reasonable time period. The Commission submits to the Inter-American Court all the facts and violations of Human Rights committed by the Argentinian State and that continued after its acceptance of the Court’s contentious jurisdiction on September 5, 1984. The State violated the right of the personal freedom of the victims on having maintained them in preventive detention for an excessive period, and the violation of the right to be judged by the due guarantees in a reasonable term. The Commission request that the Inter-American Court declare that the State of Argentina is responsible for: the violation of the right of the personal freedom (Article 7 of the American Convention), and the right to a fair trial (article 8) in in relation to Article 1.1 of the same treaty, to the prejudice of al the 21 victims in this case. Taking into account the aforementioned, the Commission requests the Inter-American Court to take the following reparations measures: 1. To grant integral repairs, especially suitable compensation, to 21 victims of the case. In addition, the Commission notes that this case raises issues of inter-American public interest related to the right to a fair trial in proceedings under military jurisdiction, regarding military officers on active duty being tried for offenses in the course of duty. In this respect, the system’s jurisprudence has in the past developed standards and case law regarding both the treatment of civilians in military courts, and proceedings before military courts against military officers accused of human rights violations. However, since it has a factual basis different from those already examined by the inter-American system, this case would allow the Court to establish standards for due process and for the protection of the right to personal liberty in this specific context.. Since these matters affect in a significant manner the inter-American public order of human rights, pursuant to Article 35.1.f of the Rules of Procedure of the Inter-American Court, the Commission wishes to offer declarations by the following expert David Lovatón, who will refer to international standards regarding guarantees of due process and limitations of the right to personal liberty under military jurisdiction involving members of the military in active service who are accused of committing offenses in the course of duty. Finally, the petitioners expressed the victims’ interest in the submission of the present case to the Inter-American Court and informed that the following shall be representatives of the victims: Alberto De Vita, Mauricio Cueto XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
