García18. In this respect, the Court deems it is appropriate to indicate that the State as
well as the representatives must coordinate the necessary actions to locate the
persons who have still not received the payment and, in the case of the deceased
victims, they must render assistance in order for their relatives to take the actions or
carry out the judicial proceedings that are pertinent to be able to receive the
corresponding compensations.
25.
Lastly, in relation to the payment of the reimbursement of costs and legal
expenses in favor of the Center for Justice and International Law (hereinafter,
“CEJIL”), the State informed that “it paid [CEJIL] as reimbursement of legal costs and
expenses [the amount of US$] 27,500.00 [(twenty-seven thousand five hundred]
dollars of the United States of America])]". The representatives confirmed that "the
State [...] effectively paid the amount ordered by the Inter-American Court to CEJIL".
In consequence, the Court considers that the State has fully complied with the
payment of the costs and legal expenses ordered in the judgment.
IV.
Other measures of reparation pending compliance
26.
The Court notes that the State has not presented fundamental and detailed
information regarding the progress made in the observation of the other measures of
reparation ordered that are pending compliance19.
27.
In light of the foregoing, the Court considers it is necessary to reiterate the
request made to the State in the Order of July 6, 2011. To this end, it requests the
State to adopt, forthwith, all measures that are necessary to promptly and effectively
comply with the measures of reparation ordered in the judgment on the preliminary
objection, merits, reparations and costs of November 24, 2009, which are pending
compliance. Moreover, it requests the State to submit updated, complete and detailed
information on such actions.
THEREFORE:
THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS,
by virtue of its authority to monitor compliance with its own decisions and pursuant to
Articles 33, 62(1), 62(3), 65, 67 and 68(1) of the American Convention on Human
18
The State referred to this person as “Edvin Saul Romero García”, supra note 12.

In this respect, it has only made reference, in its report of May 4, 2012, to the adoption of
measures to amend the Law on Amparo, Habeas Corpus and Constitutionality, and it emphasized that there
are two legislative bills (registered under numbers “3319” and “2942”) which had obtained favorable votes
but have been under deliberation since November 29, 2007 and April 28, 2010, respectively. In this regard,
the State has presented information on such bills prior to the Order of the Court of July 6, 2011 and the
Judgment (Cf. Case of “Las Dos Erres” Massacre v. Guatemala. Monitoring Compliance with Judgment,
supra note 14, considering paragraphs fifteen to eighteen). In its report of December 20, 2010, the State
referred to bill “3942” and in its report of May 4, 2012, to bill “2942”. However, from the information
presented, it does not spring that the State had made reference to a different legislative proposal. In this
regard, the representatives “not[ed] with concern that the State did not refer to new bills, actions or specific
measures to make progress in the compliance with the measure of reparation in question [and that] it has
neither referred to measures adopted to guarantee the effective use of the remedy of amparo until the
corresponding ammendement is effective". In turn, the Commission "observ[ed] with concern the lack of
progress in relation to the order of the Court" .
