58 identify, prosecute and punish the physical perpetrators and instigators of the violations committed against Mr. Bernabé Baldeón-García for the purpose of criminal proceedings and any other purpose resulting from the investigation of the events. The next of kin of the victim or his representatives shall have full access to and participate in all stages and instances of the domestic criminal proceedings initiated in relation to the instant case, in accordance with domestic laws and the American Convention. The findings in such proceedings shall be publicly disseminated by the State in such manner as to enable the Peruvian society to know the truth regarding the facts of the instant case. 200. The aforementioned proceedings shall also be conducted in accordance with international standards for documentation and construction of forensic evidence proving the commission of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment (“the Istanbul Protocol”).115 201. Furthermore, as repeatedly indicated in the Court's precedents116 no domestic law or provision –including statutes of limitations and amnesty laws– may prevent a State from fulfilling the Court’s order to investigate and punish those responsible for human right violations. In particular, amnesty laws, the statute of limitations and rules on limitations of liability aimed at hindering the investigation and punishment of those responsible for serious human rights violations are inadmissible since they affect irrevocable rights protected under International Human Rights Law. 202. To fulfill the purpose of proceedings, the actual inequality status of those who are brought before the courts must be taken into account. Thus, the principle of equality before the law and the courts117 and the related prohibition against discrimination shall apply. Said inequality conditions call for the adoption of redressing measures that help reduce or eliminate the obstacles and deficiencies that hinder or reduce the effective protection of individual interests. If these redressing measures, widely recognized at various stages of proceedings, were not available, it would be difficult to sustain that those who suffer disadvantages truly enjoy the right to fair trial and due process of law on an equitable basis compared to those who are not affected by said disadvantages.118 203. The Court finds that the next of kin of Mr. Bernabé Baldeón-García are members of a Quechua-speaking rural community. Based on the foregoing, the State 115 Cf.
