V
EVIDENCE
A) Admissibility of the documentary evidence
17.
The Court received diverse documents offered, with their principal briefs, as
evidence by the Commission and by the representatives (supra paras. 3, 7 and 8). As in
other cases, the Court admits the documents that were presented opportunely (Article
57 of the Rules) by the parties and by the Commission, the admissibility of which were
neither disputed nor objected to and the authenticity of which was not contested.13
18.
The Court observes that the State, together with its final written arguments,
provided three documents.14 The representatives, together with their final written
allegations, provided diverse documentation joined in one annex. 15 The Commission did
not make any observations on the documentation presented by the parties together with
their final written allegations nor did the State make any observations. The
representatives simply noted that the documentation presented by the State had already
been incorporated into the record of the case.
19.
The Court notes that the documents provided by the representatives with their
final written allegations refer to the accreditation of the expenses relating to the Victims’
Legal Defense Fund of the Inter-American Court (infra paras. 218 and 219) that were
disbursed after the presentation of their brief with petitions and motions. Therefore, it
admits that documentation.
20.
As to the documents provided by the State together with its final written
arguments, the Court notes that two of them have already been incorporated into the
evidentiary record and, therefore, it is not necessary or relevant to evaluate their
admissibility.16 The third document, which the State provided as “Annex 2)” to its brief
Cf. Case of Velásquez Rodríguez v. Honduras. Merits. Judgment of July 29, 1988. Series C No. 4,
para. 140 and Case of Garzón Guzmán et al. v. Ecuador, para. 33. Documentary evidence may be presented,
in general and in accordance with Article 57(2) of the Rules, together with the brief of submission of the case,
the brief with petitions and motions and the answering brief, as applicable. Evidence presented beyond those
procedural moments is not admissible, except in situations defined in that article (namely, force majeur or
serious impediment) or if it concerns a supervening event; that is, one occurring after the aforementioned
procedural moments.
