8 j) A copy of Mr. Cronwell Pierre Castillo-Castillo’s "category four income tax withholding statement;" k) A newspaper clipping titled "Comandante-Bomba. Este es Juan Carlos Mejía, el hombre más explosivo de la policía" [Commander Bomb. This is Juan Carlos Mejía, the most explosive man on the police force] in Revista Sí. No. 214, for the week of March 24 to 31, 1991, Lima, Peru, pp. 78-85; l) A report by the office of the "Inspector General of Police on the operation in which Ernesto [Rafael] Castillo-Páez was detained on orders of the Ministry of the Interior;" m) A statements signed in the presence of a notary in the Netherlands on May 25, 1998, by Cronwell Pierre Castillo-Castillo, Mónica Inés Castillo-Páez and Carmen Rosa Páez-Warton; and n) The technical report prepared by Dr. Carmen Wurst-Calle de Landazuri on the "psychological consequences of disappearances and political asylum" in the case of the next of kin of victims of human rights violations, and the appendix thereto. 26. In a brief of May 11, 1998, the State objected to part of the documentary evidence submitted by the victim’s next of kin. Concerning the certification of Manuel Piqueras, it stated that "under the austerity policy, and especially from 1990 onward, the government budget laws prohibited hiring, making the claim implausible." It also contested the statement made by the victim’s next of kin concerning the income of a sociologist in the public sector, asserting that it “is false and we dismiss it outright: not only is it utterly unsubstantiated but also appears to suggest that the amount in question is a monthly salary, which is misleading since Mr. Piqueras, being an appointee, would have had a higher salary than career members of the civil service. The State also challenged the evidentiary value of the autopsy report on Abel Malpartida-Páez, the victim’s cousin, "because this documentation is immaterial to the issue under discussion at this reparations and compensation stage." 27. With its briefs of May 11 and 29, July 20, September 11, October 9 and 26, all in 1998, the State submitted the following documentary evidence: a) Law No. 26.479, June 14, 1995, published in "El Peruano" on June 15, 1995, whereby "a general amnesty is granted to military, police and civilian personnel for various cases;" b) Law No. 26.492, June 30, 1995, published in "El Peruano" on July 2, 1995, which explains the "interpretation and scope of the amnesty granted under Law No. 26.479"; c) Judgment of the [Peruvian] Constitutional Tribunal, dated April 28, 1997, published in "El Peruano" on May 9, 1997, which "dismisses the case alleging the unconstitutionality of several articles of Laws Nos. 26.479 and 26.492;" d) A copy of the "certification attesting to the absence of any application for intestate succession," issued by the Office of the Registrar of Lima and Callao, on May 6, 1998, attesting to the fact that the Office of Declaration of Heirs
