with a pump and elevated cistern system. In addition, […] 150 medias pajas [sic] of water [taps]” were purchased and “electricity, drainage and access roads were provided.” Furthermore, “six communal farms were provided for crops, three manzanas per family,” as well as primary school teachers, a nurse’s assistant, cultural promoters, and training in loom weaving, construction of Lorena stoves and livestock aspects [sic].” However, according to the said 2008 report, at the date it was issued, the necessary resources to complete the agreed reparations stage had still not been processed and obtained. Four years later, the State failed to advise the Court whether the reparation had been provided as agreed. 85. However, and despite the State’s efforts, according to the CEH, “[t]he living conditions in Pacux are precarious and the land is inadequate for subsistence agriculture.”120 In this regard, according to the affidavit prepared by Bruna Pérez Osorio: “In Pacux [the members of the community] do not have land for farming; [… they] have to buy everything. [… In Río Negro] there was enough to meet [their] needs. In contrast, in Pacux there isn’t. There are only problems. [… They] no longer have access to the river; […] in Pacux, there's only one river but it is polluted; you can't go to wash or bathe there.”121 86. that: Similarly, during the public hearing held in this case, Carlos Chen Osorio indicated “In Pacux, there is extreme poverty because it is not the same as in Río Negro. […] Nowadays, we can’t do anything in Pacux because all the land is 15x30; we can no longer visit Los Encuentros, the archaeological sites […]. In Pacux […] the women [and] the men […] sometimes get a day’s work and at other times […] they don’t, so what [they earn] that day is for consumption that day; if no work is found tomorrow, there is nothing. We don't have potable water in Pacux; we have a health center without medicine and without a nurse; we have a school […] that is very poor […]. Unlike in Río Negro, here we can’t do much; now we are in a very delicate situation because the community is growing and there is no land from which to make a living, there is no source of work […] before we had wood, we had all the resources we needed […] our livestock was stolen so now people are poor […].”122 87. In addition, with regard to the cultural life of the Río Negro community in the Pacux settlement, expert witness Alfredo Itzep Manuel indicated that “the loss of this community's natural living conditions affected every element of the Maya Achí culture.” It signified the loss of “the relationship that it had with nature,” of “the celebration of traditional festivals related to agriculture and water,” of the “contact with [its] most important sacred places and cemeteries, which were cultural reference points for their ancestors and for the history 120 Report “Guatemala, Memoria del Silencio,” supra, volume VI, annex I, Illustrative Case No. 10 “Massacre and Elimination of the Community of Río Negro.” 121 Testimony provided by affidavit by Bruna Pérez Osorio (merits file, tome II, folios 1015 and 1016), and expert opinion provided by affidavit by Alfredo Itzep Manuel (merits file, tome II; folios 1034 to 1053). 122 Regarding the quality of the food in the said community, Antonia Osorio Sánchez indicated that “[…] before, we had real hens, now we get ill because we only eat chemicals; […] at the moment, in Pacux, we can’t have hens because they get ill after about three months; […] we have water, but we have to pay for it and it isn’t clean, it has chemicals and we cannot drink it because we get ill owing to the dirt it contains.” She also indicated that “[f]rom the community of Río Negro to the community of Pacux, there have been great changes in our life. In the community of Pacux our life is difficult; we are there younger than the ones we lost; we have to leave and look for work, because there we can’t do anything for lack of space. Now, for example, with the wood, in Pacux, we have to buy it, before in Río Negro we could go and gather it nearby. In Pacux everything has to be bought; we have harvest on private land and the owners have threatened us because of this; […] in Pacux we only have one lot for each family, it is not the same type of soil and we can’t sow the same crops […]; when the INDE was in Río Negro it promised many things; they told us that we would have trucks to go to Río Negro and get wood and that we would have free electricity. We have light, but we have to pay for it.” Testimony of Antonia Osorio Sánchez given before notary public (merits file, tome II, folios 1003 and 1004). 39
