12 adopted to comply with the recommendations contained in the Report on the Merits and, therefore, that the right of the Chilean State to be heard was allegedly violated; 53. 54. f) prior to the date on which the State was informed of the extension granted to file its report on compliance, the decision to refer the case to the Inter-American Court had already been taken and the representative of the alleged victims had been requested to refer the facts regarding the case by means of an e-mail, and g) after taking cognizance of the report on compliance of the State, the Commission decided to request the State to inform whether it was interested in starting a process of amicable solution as provided for in Article 48(1)(f) of the Convention and 41 of the Rules of Procedure. Arguments of the Commission a) on April 11, 2005 the Commission informed the State of the Report issued on the merits of the case, granting it a term up to June 11, 2005 to inform the Commission on the measures adopted to comply with its recommendations; b) on June 24, 2005 the State requested the Commission an extension of such term until July 8, 2005. On June 27, 2005 the Commission granted the State an extension until July 1, 2005 to submit a report to the Commission on the measures adopted to comply with its recommendations. Said term expired without the State having forwarded any information on the matter; c) the e-mail of the representative of the alleged victim to which the State made reference contains the answer of the representative to the inquiry made by the Commission in accordance with Article 43(3) of its Rules of Procedure; d) upon failure of the State to submit a report, on July 11, 2005, the last day of the term set pursuant to Article 51(1) of the Convention, and the non-compliance by the State of the recommendations contained in the Report on the Merits, the Commission referred the case to the Court, and e) after the case had been referred to the Court, a communication of the State was received regarding its compliance with the recommendations, wherein it stated that it was interested in starting a process of amicable solution; the report does not prove the compliance with the recommendations of the Commission, as it was stated in the answer to the application; instead, it contains the reasons why the State considers that it is unable to entirely fulfill such recommendations, together with the reiteration of the various measures adopted in order to palliate impunity.
