2 Accordingly, the Inter-American Court has jurisdiction to rule on the omissions of the Chilean State since the acceptance of the contentious jurisdiction of the Court, i.e. since August 21, 1990. Thus, for example, in 2004 the report of the National Commission on Political Imprisonment and Torture for Clarification of the Truth was published; that report makes reference to the violations suffered by Mr. García Lucero. Despite this, the State continued to fail to carry out its obligation to perform an investigation into these facts on its own initiative. In addition, the Court has jurisdiction to rule on the insufficiency of the measures ordered by the State on behalf of Mr. García Lucero since its recognition of jurisdiction, for example, the pension since 2000 and the bonds received in 2006 and 2008, in light of international standards on integral reparation for serious human rights violations. These omissions and their effects on Mr. García Lucero and his family continue to constitute a breach of the duty to make reparation and to investigate the torture suffered by Mr. García Lucero. The Commission has designated Commissioner José de Jesús Orozco Henríquez and the Executive Secretary of the IACHR, Santiago A. Canton, as its delegates. In addition, Elizabeth Abi-Mershed, Assistant Executive Secretary, and Silvia Serrano Guzmán, María Claudia Pulido, and Fanny Gómez Lugo, attorneys with the Executive Secretariat of the IACHR, will serve as legal advisers. In keeping with Article 35 of the Rules of Procedure of the Inter-American Court, the Commission attaches a copy of report 23/11, drawn up pursuant to Article 50 of the Convention, as well as a copy of the entire record of the case before the Inter-American Commission (Appendix I) and the annexes used in preparing report 23/11 (Annexes). That report on the merits was transmitted to the State of Chile by communication of April 20, 2011; the State was given two months to report on implementation of the recommendations. On June 21, 2011, the Chilean State requested an extension to report on implementation of the recommendations. The Commission granted that extension for two months, and requested that the State present reports on progress in their implementation on August 31 and September 8, 2011. The State presented the two reports required and requested a new extension. Nonetheless, since the content of those reports does not reflect substantial progress in implementing the recommendations, the IACHR decided to reject the new request for an extension, and to submit the case to the jurisdiction of the Inter-American Court in light of the need to obtain justice for the victims. In terms of the recommendation to “Fully and adequately compensate Leopoldo García Lucero and his next of kin for the human rights violations established…, in a manner that takes into account his specific condition, as he is in exile and permanently disabled,” the Commission observes that the Chilean State conditioned the possibility of providing compensation to the victim on the pursuit of a domestic judicial proceeding related to state responsibility. In that sense, the State has not adopted measures on its own initiative to carry out this recommendation. The only specific measure proposed by the State – related to the purchase and shipment of equipment that could contribute to improving the victim’s physical condition – has yet to be implemented, nor is there any information as to
