4 a) by having obligated itself to respect the norms of the American Convention on Human Rights and after having participated as a party in the Castillo Petruzzi et al. Case, Peru should fulfill its international obligations in good faith; b) Article 67 of the American Convention on Human Rights establishes in an unequivocal form that the judgments rendered in a contentious proceeding before the Court are not subject to appeal; c) the State’s noncompliance constitutes defiance of Article 68(1) of the American Convention on Human Rights, which establishes the obligatory nature of the judgments of the Court and, in an unequivocal manner, the obligation of the States Parties to this Convention to comply with that which is ordered in its judgments; d) it is the duty of the State to comply with its conventional obligations of good faith; a principle set forth in Article 31 of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties; e) on ratifying the American Convention on Human Rights, the States Parties undertake duties of protection to all persons subject to their jurisdiction.
