Thus, the State shall explain in a detailed and accurate manner the results reached and how the proceedings followed are effective to identify, judge and, if applicable, punish those responsible for the violations against the victims in this case. 22. That additionally, the Court recalls the provisions in paragraph 139 of the Judgment regarding compliance with this obligation, establishing that the State must ensure that the victims’ next of kin shall have full access and capacity to act in all stages and proceedings in the course of said investigations, according to the domestic laws and the provisions of the American Convention. The outcome of the investigations shall be published by the State, in such a way that it shall allow the Venezuelan society to know the truth about the events of this case. * * * 23.
