THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STATE OF NICARAGUA: 1. Provide full reparation, in both material and moral terms, for the human rights violations laid out in this report. The State should adopt measures of financial compensation and satisfaction to the benefit of Mr. Patricio Roche Azaña and his parents. 2. Reopen the criminal investigation—diligently, effectively, and within a reasonable period—to fully clarify the facts, identify any possible responsibility, and impose the appropriate penalties for the human rights violations laid out in this report. Considering the seriousness of the stated violations and the interAmerican standards involved, the Commission underscores that the State may not put forth the argument that the guarantees of ne bis in ídem, res judicata, or statutes of limitation justify a failure to comply with this recommendation. 3. Provide the necessary physical and mental health-care measures for the rehabilitation of Mr. Patricio Roche Azaña and his parents, if they so wish and in consultation with them. 4. Provide non-repetition mechanisms that include the training of authorities on the use of force, in keeping with the standards described in this merits report, as well as training on the human rights of migrant persons.
