4 human person, his guarantees and the Rule of Law, represent a triad whose components can make sense and be defined as a function of the others.” I consider that the State recognition that senior government officials planned, as abettors, the death of Myrna Mack Chang, can become especially relevant if this conduct, understood as means of reparation and a guarantee that the fact will not be repeated by representatives from the Executive Branch and, thus, State representatives, is equally assumed by other government Branches responsible for punishing violations of human rights motivating this process. Only a State of justice and respect for human dignity shall guarantee peace. Only when States fully assume, facing the international community and the individual, their liability and offer the guarantees to preserve the rights of the human person, can facts as serious as the ones herein be avoided.
