between September 5, 1997, and March 30, 2001, and that, as a consequence, had
ordered the restoration of the legal activity and the administrative structure that the
company had before the violations of human rights that the State committed against Mr.
Ivcher. The Court understands that such measures tend toward the re-establishment of the
situation prior to the declared violation.
39.
That notwithstanding the aforementioned, Mr. Ivcher and the Commission alleged
that this aspect of that ordered in the Judgment cannot be fulfilled until the State abstains
from collecting the tax debt generated by the CLRSA through the illegal administration of
the Winters between August 1, 1997, and December 6, 2000, and consider that said debt
is one of the direct consequences of the declared violations in the present case.
40.
That, in this sense, this Tribunal has noted that Mr. Ivcher requested the Arbitral
Tribunal “[that] orders the Peruvian State to assume the cost of [said] tax debt,” and that
he declared unfounded “said payment, so that he considered, among other reasons, that
“the tax debt [generated by the Winter Administration] did not directly affect the personal
wealth of [Mr. Ivcher], but that the company of which he was a shareholder,” (supra
Considering 24). On the other hand, Mr. Ivcher presented a request for constitutional
protection on this point that was rejected on May 20, 2008, by the Constitutional Tribunal
of Peru (supra Considering 25) so that, according to such Tribunal, “the constitutional
protection process is not the way to execute the judgments of the Inter-American Court.”
Also, the Constitutional Tribunal pointed out that the result of the Arbitral Tribunal had the
effect of res judicata and that the Judgment of the Inter-American Court was declared in
favor of “the personal rights of Mr. Ivcher, not of all the members that made up the
[CLRSA], in favor of which the debt relief from the tax debt is now requested.”
41.
That if in the Judgment, this Court issued to “the competent national authorities”
the fulfillment of that ordered in the eighth Operative Paragraph, it is understood that the
same are not at liberty to resolve the issue in a contrary manner to that determined by this
Tribunal in the Judgment. In this respect, the Court remembers that established in
paragraph 123 of its Judgment, in the sense that, contrary to that resolved by the Arbitral
Tribunal, the participation in the shareholder capital of the company effectively constitutes
the good regarding which Mr. Ivcher has the right of use and enjoyment, in light of the
American Convention. Therefore, by the means in which said shareholder capital appears to
be affected by the tax debt generated between August 1, 1997, and December 6, 2000, by
the administration of the Winter brothers, who took power of the company illegally with the
acquiescence of the State, also will appear the affect of the right to property of Mr. Ivcher
for the acts imputable to the State.
42.
That as also pointed out previously (supra Considering 38 and 41), it results that
at the beginning of the month of August of 1997, the moment just before the violation of
the rights of Mr. Ivcher Bronstein, the CLRSA did not have any tax debt with the State. It
was only due to the illegal management of the company that generated the material tax
debt of the present controversy.
43.
That, therefore, the Court considers that the tax controversy pending resolution
impedes Mr. Ivcher from being able to be fully restituted regarding the use and enjoyment
of his right as a majority shareholder of the CLRSA, just as he was until August 1, 1997,
due to, according to that provided previously, the debt which affected the capital of the
company, regarding which Mr. Ivcher has a right to property as a shareholder. In this way,
