167. Furthermore, the Commission indicated that Carlos Alberto Ortuño, his mother Dalila Ordalys Ortuño and his brother Jorge Antonio Barrios Ortuño were victims of displacement. However, Dalila Ordalys Ortuño desisted from participating in the processing of the instant case (supra para. 33); while Carlos Alberto Ortuño declared that he still “lives in Guanayén” with his mother and that he is “not afraid to be there.”215 In addition, the Court has no information about the alleged displacement of Jorge Antonio Barrios Ortuño. Also, the evidence in the case file reveals that Orismar Carolina Alzul García and her children Ronis David Barrios Alzul García, Roniel Alberto Barrios Alzul and Luis Alberto Alzul, remained in Guanayén following the death of their husband and father,216 as did Juan José Barrios, who remained in Guanayén,217 and there is insufficient evidence to prove that he left for a time. Additionally, the testimony of Pablo Julián Solórzano Barrios and the complaint filed before the Public Prosecution Service in February 2005 reveal that his oldest son, Paul David Solórzano Barrios, did not move with his family in February 2005 and continues to live in Guanayén.218 Lastly, the Commission and the representatives indicated other members of the Barrios family as alleged victims of violations of Article 22 of the Convention.219 However, the Court does not have sufficient evidence to consider them victims in this chapter. 168. Based on the above findings, the Court declares that the State is responsible for violation of the right to freedom of movement and residence recognized in Article 22(1) of the Convention, in relation to Article 1(1) thereof, to the detriment of Elbira Barrios, Oscar José Barrios, Cirilo Antonio Colorado Barrios, Lorena del Valle Pugliese Barrios, Darelbis Carolina Barrios, Elvis Sarais Colorado Barrios, Pablo Julián Solórzano Barrios, Beneraiz de la Rosa, Danilo David Solórzano Barrios, Maritza Barrios, Wilmer José Flores Barrios, Néstor Caudi Barrios, Génesis Andreína Navarro Barrios, Víctor Tomás Navarro Barrios, Heilin Alejandra Navarro Barrios, Brígida Oneyda Barrios, Marcos Antonio Díaz Barrios, Sandra Marivi Betancourt Barrios, Junior Jose Betancourt Barrios, Wilneidys Betania Pimentel Barrios, Eloisa Barrios, Víctor Daniel Cabrera Barrios, Luilmari Carolina Guzmán Barrios and Luiseidys Yulianny Guzmán Barrios. In addition, the Court recalls that the State is obliged to pay special attention to the needs and the rights of children based on their special vulnerability (supra para. 55). In this case, the Court finds that those who were children at the time of the facts were especially affected by the family displacements, so that the State violated the right to special protection owing to their condition as minors, of Oscar José Barrios, Luilmari Carolina Guzmán Barrios, Luiseidys Yulianny Guzmán Barrios, Danilo David Solórzano, Elvis Sarais Colorado Barrios, Cirilo Antonio Colorado Barrios, Lorena del Valle Pugliese Barrios, Wilmer José Flores Barrios, Génesis Andreina Navarro Barrios, Victor Tomas Navarro Barrios, Heilin Alejandra Navarro Barrios, Marcos Antonio Díaz Barrios, Sandra Marivi Betancourt Barrios, Junior Jose Betancourt Barrios and Wilneidys Betania consider Lila Ysabel Solórzano Barrios an alleged victim of the violation of the right to freedom of movement and residence. 215 Cf.
