The victim’s representatives also expressed their concern about the length of the investigation being conducted by the Office of the Attorney General without any concrete results being reached, thereby allowing those responsible for the human rights violations against Luis Alberto Cantoral Benavides to continue unpunished and “carry out acts of intimidation against the victim.” Lastly, they expressed their concern about the Peruvian State’s negligence in complying with the measures of reparation ordered by the Court in its judgment and requested the Court to order the State: “1) To publish the judgment on merits delivered by the Court in the instant case in a national newspaper. 2) To award Luis Alberto Cantoral the grant for his studies, under the conditions previously agreed with him. 3) To proceed to annul or provide information on the annulment of the verdict convicting Luis Alberto Cantoral Benavides. 4) To foster a genuine and decided investigation to identify and punish those responsible for the facts that had occurred to the detriment of Luis Alberto Cantoral Benavides.” 22.
