99 paramilitary group and the agents of the Colombian State in La Granja and El Aro and also to the children who were members of the families who were victims of the violations committed during those events, inasmuch as the latter were deprived of several of their rights by the illegal and arbitrary acts of State agents”; and (f) “The children who lived in the district of El Aro were deprived of their families to the extent that the fathers of some of them were executed and their mothers had to abandon their homes. The situation of forced displacement experienced by the inhabitants of El Aro, with the implications mentioned above, signified the failure to protect the children’s most elementary rights.” The State’s arguments 238. In relation to Article 19 of the Convention, the State affirmed that it “had not failed to comply with any obligation arising from Article 19” of the Convention. The violation of the right to life of Wilmar de Jesús Restrepo Torres has been “covered by the rulings in the criminal proceedings and by the acknowledgement of international responsibility.” The Court’s findings 239.

However, the State did not consider that these facts constituted a complementary violation of Article 19 thereof (supra paras. 60 and 238). 243. In addition to the child, Wilmar de Jesús Restrepo Torres, the Court has identified the following children indicated in the Commission’s application: Jorge Correa Sánchez (who witnessed the death of his uncle, Héctor Hernán Correa García), Omar Daniel Pérez Areiza, José Leonel Areiza Posada and Marco Aurelio Areiza Posada. 244. The Court considers that Article 19 of the American Convention should be understood as a complementary right that the Convention establishes for individuals who need special measures of protection, owing to their stage of physical and
