33 the State has the obligation to make reparation to those displaced from Ituango who are unable to return and recover their lost possessions. At the domestic level, Decree No. 2569 of December 12, 2000, introduced a possible end to the status of displaced persons and referred to the elimination of the Displaced Persons’ Register. In its judgment T-327 of March 26, 2001, the Colombian Constitutional Court ruled in favor of the displaced persons who were not allowed to register on the Displaced Persons’ Register. In this judgment, it made a difference between the "status of displaced" and the "actual situation causing displacement.” The former was a requirement for access to Government support and required formal certification as a displaced person, while the latter corresponded merely to a de facto situation, which did not have to be certified by the Government. Also, displacement is not limited in time, so that a person continues to be displaced until he can return home in secure conditions and when the reasons for his displacement have been eliminated in the area from which he was expelled. 2. Alfredo De los Ríos, psychiatrist The next of kin of the alleged victims suffered psychological and physical effects, such as: anxiety, problems at school, nervousness, depression, feelings of loneliness and distress, resentment, anger, bitterness, sadness, lack of energy, loss of appetite, fear, confusion, insomnia, pessimism, lack of the will to live, and a desire to die. Displacement affects the normal mourning process of the victims’ next of kin, because they live in remote places and the families are dispersed; this prevents them from performing collective acts, rites and commemorations, and establishing a connection with places and objects related to their deceased family members. Most of the alleged victims who died in El Aro and La Granja were men. The displacement produced by the death of the main family member in these villages affected not only their wives and children, but often the nephews and nieces and the grandchildren too, because everyone felt threatened and fearful as a result of the attack. The abrupt financial loss and the feelings of terror, arbitrariness, impotence and defenselessness caused additional traumatic effects, over and above the accumulated anger and bitterness against those who perpetrated the tragedy, and also against the agencies who should have avoided it or whose function was to provide protection. The life project of the next of kin has been truncated. Many of the children of the alleged victims had to drop out of school and begin to work to help the family survive. The failure to clarify the facts becomes a factor that increases the feeling of injustice and abandonment by the State. The psychological effects on the next of kin of the alleged victims could be treated and improved by the intervention of mental health experts.
