60 194. The Court deems appropriate, as ordered in other cases231, that the State shall publish at least once, in the Official Gazette and in another newspaper of wide national circulation, chapters 30 to 203 of this Judgment, with the corresponding headings and subheadings but without the corresponding footnotes and the operative paragraphs therein. To such end, said publications shall be made within six months following notice of this Judgment. C(2) Public act of acknowledgement of international responsibility 195. The Inter-American Commission requested the Court to order the State to organize a public act of acknowledgment of international responsibility for the facts and to apology to the victim and his next-of-kin, in consultation with the latter, in order to make sure his memory is preserved. The representatives requested the Court to order the State that, in such public act, "the maximum authority, on behalf of the State, apology to the next-of-kin of Kenneth Ney Anzualdo Castro", who shall read the relevant parts of the Judgment and also, to disseminate such act by a public media with a high rating in Peru, for which the State must consult with the next-ofkin the details of the event.” 196. In addition, the representatives recalled, in the final arguments, the words of Marly Arleny Anzualdo Castro, who, during the public hearing, requested the Tribunal "a place of memory for students like my brother.” Consequently, the representatives requested the Court to order the State to, in common agreement with the next-of-kin and having previously coordinated with them, "vindicate his memory, by erecting a commemorative plaque in an appropriate place at Universidad Técnica de Callao.” 197. The State considered it was necessary to wait for the results of the investigation conducted into the disappearance of Anzualdo Castro to carry out any kind of act. In addition, it objected to such request upon considering that the same "was unnecessary bearing in mind the goal of the Project of the ‘Museum of Memory’”, which would “represent with objectivity and displaying broad spirit, the tragedy that Peru went through as a consequence of the subversive activities of Sendero Luminoso and Movimiento Revolucionario Túpac Amaru during the last two decades of the twentieth century, in order to reveal to the Peruvian society the tragic consequences that result from ideological fanatism, breach of law and the violation of human rights, in order for our country not to recall such terrible experiences”.232 Likewise, the State “considers that the erection of a plaque, bust or another symbolic form of redress is not feasible at any public institution- like the Universidad del Callao"- considering the initiative described of the "Museum of Memory.” 198. The Court has determined, when analyzing the merits of the case, the seriousness of the facts and the violations committed in the instant case. In turn, the Court has noted that the description of the victim Kenneth Ney Anzualdo Castro as terrorist and his connection with the group Sendero Luminoso affected the investigations in relation to his forced disappearance and that such description on the part of the State was kept in this proceeding, which did not refer to his guilt or 231 Cf.
