3 With regard to the identification of the victims of these violations, Report 177/10 includes three separate annexes which consist of the list of: i) the victims extrajudicially executed; ii) the survivors and relatives of the executed victims; and iii) the victims forcibly displaced. In its merits report (paras. 203-214), the Inter-American Commission stated the criteria taken into account for the identification of the victims, in order not to exclude a priori the victim-condition of any person so identified as deceased in the massacres or as surviving next-of-kin, taking into account the exceptional characteristics of this case. However, the IACHR clarifies now that much of the data about name, age, sex or family ties are approximate and imprecise. In this case, the IACHR adopted “flexible criteria for the identification of the victims,” under the understanding that, as indicated in one of the recommendations of Report 177/10, it corresponds to the State of El Salvador to carry out the complete identification of the victims executed in the Massacres of El Mozote and neighboring locations, as well as the next-of-kin of the executed victims, within the framework of the proper investigation that it is required to perform. Report 177/10 was notified to the State of El Salvador by means of communication of December 8, 2010, granting it a two-month term to inform on the implementation of the recommendations. To this date, the State has not replied to the request made by the Commission. As a result, the Commission submits the instant case to the jurisdiction of the Inter-American Court due to the need to obtain justice and the State’s failure to comply with the recommendations. Specifically, the Commission submits to the jurisdiction of the Court the State acts and omissions that occurred after June 6, 1995, the date of the acceptance of the Court’s jurisdiction by El Salvador. As indicated in Report 177/10, part of the set of facts that are within the temporal jurisdiction of the Court, includes: the validity of the General Amnesty Law for the Consolidation of Peace; the omission in the reopening of the investigations; the absence of continued and sustained efforts to exhume a greater number of mortal remains; the lack of judicial follow-up of the exhumations carried out and the information obtained in the framework of the same; the absence of a response to the requests for the reopening of the investigations; the effects of the massacres and their impunity on the surviving next-of-kin of the victims; the lack of reparation in favor of them; and the situation of displacement of some victims. The afore-mentioned, without prejudice that the State of El Salvador might accept the jurisdiction of the Court to study the entire case, in accordance with the terms of Article 62(2) of the American Convention. The Commission requests that the Court orders the following measures of reparation: a) Make adequate reparations for the violations of human rights, both in their material and their moral aspect, including the establishment and dissemination of the historic truth of the events, suitable commemoration of the victims who died, and implementation of an appropriate program of psycho-social care for the surviving relatives; b) Establish a mechanism to ensure that the victims executed in the massacres at El Mozote and neighboring locations are identified as fully as possible and take the necessary steps to pursue the
