7 admitted by the respondent State - which conform the continuing situation of the forced disappearance of Mr. José Carlos Trujillo Oroza. That is, the Court determined the reparations on the basis of equity, bearing in mind the permanent situation (from the beginning until the present) of the delict of forced disappearance which lasts until today, hence imprescriptible. 22. In having at last achieved, in the circumstances of the cas d'espèce, to transcend the chains of a mechanicist vision of law, the Inter-American Court, by means of the present Judgment on reparations, has disclosed a much wider horizon for future jurisprudential developments in the search for the entire fulfilment of the object and purpose of the American Convention. The Court has done so on the basis of the relevant precepts of the law of treaties, and with full support in the international caselaw and in the more lucid doctrine on the matter. From this new outlook, constructed in the present Judgment in the Trujillo Oroza case, the Court has acted at the height of the responsabilities of protection of the rights of the human person conferred upon it by the American Convention on Human Rights.
