36 omissions of the State authorities in relation to the facts.81 120. In this case, none of the persons who were excluded from the State’s acknowledgement of responsibility were direct next of kin of Jesús María Valle Jaramillo, who has been declared a victim of the violation of the right to life in this judgment (supra paras. 105 and 106). Hence, the Court will not presume that his death harmed their mental and moral integrity. Consequently, the Court will assess the evidence in the case file to determine whether there are any other grounds for declaring the State’s responsibility for the violation of the personal integrity of these individuals. 121. Regarding the alleged harm to the personal integrity of Juan Guillermo Valle Noreña, John Jairo Valle Noreña and Luz Adriana Valle Noreña, nephews and niece of Jesús María Valle Jaramillo,82 the Court has the statements made before notary public of Juan Guillermo Valle Noreña and of Darío Arcila Arenas (supra paras. 50(e) and 50(f)). These statements were requested by order of the President of the Court because they were considered pertinent. Juan Guillermo Valle Noreña indicated that Jesús María Valle Jaramillo ““constantly helped [… him,] and he could even say that [Mr. Valle Jaramillo was his] idol […]; he always provided guidance about getting ahead and setting goals; whenever he [Juan Guillermo] needed him, he was there; at times of financial difficulties or family or moral problems.”83 Juan Guillermo Valle Noreña also indicated that he and John Jairo Valle Noreña “ran errands for Jesús [María Valle Jaramillo]; they chauffeured his car, since he was always helping them by paying for their transportation, lunches, studies, whatever they needed.”84 In addition, in a sworn statement, Darío Arcila Arenas emphasized that Jesús María Valle Jaramillo paid part of Luz Adriana Valle Noreña’s legal studies, “which she suspended when they murdered [him].”85 122. From the above it is clear that close ties existed between Juan Guillermo Valle Noreña, John Jairo Valle Noreña and Luz Adriana Valle Noreña and Jesús María Valle Jaramillo. Therefore, the Court considers that the latter’s death harmed their mental integrity. 123. Regarding Mauricio Alberto Herrera Valle, Claudia Helena Herrera Valle, Liliana María Herrera Valle and Berta Lucía Valle Noreña, all nephews and nieces of Jesús María Valle Jaramillo,86 the Court underscores that, in a sworn statement, Darío Arcila Arenas referred to the impact that the latter’s death had on his family as follows: 81 Cf.
