[…] the State has complied in part with operative paragraph number five in the Judgment rendered on November 25, 2003, as regards the duty of the State to investigate and possibly to punish those responsible for the extrajudicial execution of Myrna Mack Chang, since as set forth in Considering Clauses numbers nine and sixteen in the […] Order, all the pertaining steps which have to be taken in order to arrest Mr. Juan Valencia Osorio for him to serve his sentence are still pending, for he is still fleeing from justice.
