7 liaison agent, approved by the Court, accompany to all the trips to El Llano, Las Majadas, etc., as organized by the Army in order to observe their efforts [...]; d) [t]o request the President of Guatemala to appoint a high hierarchy officer of the Public Prosecutor's Office and grant him/her power to consult the information registries of the national Government and its agencies with the purpose of determining the whereabouts of these men, who will communicate with the officer of the Army already mentioned as to this information[, and e) to request] the President of Guatemala to appoint an officer with hierarchy within the Public Prosecutor's Office in order to be directly responsible of the investigation of these three individuals once their apprehension is final and to appoint a Public Prosecutor if they are accused.” 9. That during the hearing held in private, the State noted its will to comply with the human rights obligations within the Inter-American system, which includes the "fully compliance with the Judgments of the Court." The State repeated that the obligation to investigate the facts of the case and, if applicable, to prosecute and punish the responsible of the disappearance and death of Mr. Nicholas Chapman Blake has been partially fulfilled by virtue of the fact that "there is one person serving the sentence of 28 years imprisonment for the crime of murder of Mr. Blake." To such respect, the State informed that Mr. Vicente Cifuentes López is serving its sentence in “Granja Cantel” located in the department of Quetzaltenango. Notwithstanding, the State accepted the responsibility for the delay in fully complying with the “factor of justice” in the instant case. In relation to those people for whom arrest warrants have been issued, it acknowledged the ruling regarding the fact that such warrants have not been executed and it hopes that “these moments of transition and reorganization of the State will allow expediting the proceedings”. Thus, it requested the Court to grant the State the opportunity to keep insisting before the system of justice and before the Government Ministry on the follow-up of the necessary measures to find out about the whereabouts of the people already mentioned. As to the measures taken by the State to fight the impunity in cases similar to the case at hand, the State informed that it has requested the International Commission against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG) to give priority to those cases of impunity where the organs of the Inter-American system have already delivered their decisions. 10. That the Commission acknowledged the progress that the State has made as to the payment of the compensations and the costs in the instant case and pointed out the importance of the investigation and punishment of the responsible. By virtue of the foregoing, it noted that the State should clarify the existing information in relation to the arrest warrants issued; specially, it requested a clarification as to when and with regard to whom the arrest warrants have been issued and if they are still in force. To such respect, they requested the State to send a copy of the existing arrest warrants. Furthermore, the Commission requested the State to submit the documentation that proves there exists an officer of the Public Prosecutor's Office in charge of conducting the investigation in the case at hand, as well as that the Civil National Police, under the direction of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, is taking some of the following measures: (i) to prove the last known domicile of the suspects by means of the trips to the towns of El Llano and Las Majadas, (ii) to conduct interviews to determine when these persons were last seen, which their last known place of work were, (iii) to prove the data existing in the Civil Registry of Guatemala, the Citizens' Registry of the Supreme Court of Elections, and the Department of Motor Vehicles and (iv) if applicable, to prove the existing of current
