difficulties to take the pertinent actions, for instance, they "could not obtain the
certificates from the National Registry of Individuals [RENAP] since the books had
been destroyed or are badly preserved"; some of them cannot remedy the loss of such
certificates since they lack "the documents and transcripts required" so that the
Attorney General’s Office [PGN] may order the “untimely entry” and, “for several
months now, they have been waiting for the [Attorney General's Office] to deliver its
decision within the framework of several probate proceedings conducted".
21.
The Inter-American Commission sustained that "in view of the difficulties faced
in order to obtain official identity documents, the State must provide active support
from its institutions”.
22.
Based on the foregoing, the representatives and the Inter-American
Commission did not contest the information presented by the State regarding the new
payments of the compensatory amounts made. However, in view of said information,
this Court notes that the payments corresponding to the compensations ordered in
favor of five victims, indicated by the State in its report of February 28, 2012, had
been already mentioned in previous State’s communications; for which they were
considered by the Court upon issuance of its Order of July 6, 2011.13
23.
This Court values the efforts made by the State to pay the compensatory
amounts for non-pecuniary damage ordered in favor of 13 more victims14 and
considers said payments to be fulfilled. Moreover, the Court notes that of a total of
155 victims in respect of whom it ordered the payment of compensations, to date, the
State has complied with the payment in favor of 134 of them.
24.
Moreover, from the information provided by the parties and the Commission
(supra eighteenth to twenty-first considering paragraphs), this Court notes that the
State has still not paid the amounts corresponding to the compensations established
in favor of 21 victims, namely: Luciana Cabrera Galeano, María Menegilda Marroquín
Miranda15, María Vicenta Moral Solís, Enriqueta González G. de Martínez16, Eugenia
Jiménez Pineda, Felicita Lima Ayala, Sara Pérez López, Telma Guadalupe Aldana
Canan, Tomasa Galicia González, Nicolasa Pérez Méndez, Ever Ismael Antonio Coto,
Héctor Coto, Santos Osorio Lique, Jorge Granados Cardona, Rafael Barrientos
Mazariegos, Ángel Cermeño Pineda, Augusto Mayen Ramírez17, Marcelino Deras

The Court has vertified that, according to the corresponding entries, presented by Guatemala as
documentation attached to its communication of July 4, 2011, Mrs. Valeria Garcia received the respective
payment on December 27, 2010, as well as Mr. Juan de Dios Cabrera Ruano, Rodrigo Mayen Ramirez and
Oscar Adelso Antonio Jimenez and that Mrs. Luz Castillo Flores, in turn, received it on April 7, 2011.
Therefore, in the Order of the Court of July 6, 2011, it was concluded that the State has complied with the
payment of the compensations in favor of said persons (Cf. Case of “Las Dos Erres” Massacre v. Guatemala.
Monitoring Compliance with Judgment. Order of the Court of July 6, 2011, fiftieth considering paragraph and
second declarative paragraph).
