13 62. On March 4, 1998, Rumaldo Juan Pacheco Osco went to the CESEM and signed a sworn statement requesting his voluntary repatriation to Peru, stating that the repatriation would be done in the company of his wife Fredesvinda Tineo Godos and his daughter Juana Guadalupe Pacheco 30 Tineo. Written by hand beneath the signature of Rumaldo Juan Pacheco Osco are the words “for not 31 having received any assistance whatsoever since January 1998.” 63. There is nothing in the record to suggest that the State of Bolivia issued any document attesting to recognition of refugee status to the Pacheco Tineo family in Bolivia since November 22, 1996. Accordingly, the IACHR has no information as to how the Pacheco Tineo family was legitimated to 32 exercise their rights as refugees. The only document in the record is a visa issued on March 10, 1998, one year and four months after the resolution that granted refugee status and days after Mr. Pacheco Osco offered his statement of voluntary repatriation owing to the difficulties that he had allegedly been contending with in Bolivia. This visa makes no reference to any recognition of their refugee status; it is a 33 “courtesy” visa to stay for one year. 64. On March 19, 1998, the CESEM sent a communication to the Department of Immigration of the Ministry of the Interior informing it of the voluntary repatriation of the Pacheco Tineo family to Peru, 34 mentioning that the repatriation would take place on March 21, 1998. 2. Entry to Chile on March 21, 1998, and recognition of refugee status in that country 65. The Pacheco Tineo family did not return to Peru. On the contrary, the family left Bolivian 35 territory on March 21, 1998, via Tambo Quemado, in the Department of Oruro, on the border with Chile. 66. On August 24, 1998, UNHCR Office in Chile issued certificates stating that Rumaldo Juan Pacheco Osco, Fredesvinda Tineo Godos, and their daughters Frida Edith and Juana Guadalupe Pacheco Tineo, requested recognition as refugees by the Government of Chile. The same certificates state that the Pacheco Tineo family were recognized as refugees by the Regional Office for Southern 36 Latin America of the UNHCR. 67. The State of Chile recognized refugee status to the Pacheco Tineo family, as it was then 37 comprised, by resolutions 3748 and 3749 of December 28, 1998. 30 Appendix 7.
