The Court appreciates the effort made by the State to make progress in
complying with the Judgment, which was accomplished through the payment or
deposit of the amounts established in the agreements to almost all of the victims in the
instant case, or their heirs. In accordance with the powers conferred upon it under the
Convention and its Rules of Procedure, the Court shall continue to monitor compliance
with the Judgment under the terms established in the Order of October 20, 2008 and
shall consider this case closed once the State has paid in full the amounts due and
made all the corresponding deposits, in accordance with the provisions of the
agreements and the aforementioned Order. To this end, in view of the payments
already made by Panama, the Court notes that, hereafter, the purpose of this
procedure to monitor compliance with the Judgment shall be limited exclusively to the
provisions indicated in Considering paragraphs 16 and 24 of this Order.
THEREFORE:
THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS,
In exercise of its authority to monitor compliance with its own decisions, pursuant to
Articles 33, 62.1, 62.3, 65, 67 and 68.1 of the American Convention on Human Rights,
Articles 25.1 and 30 of its Statute and Articles 31.2 and 69.4 of its Rules of Procedure,
DECLARES THAT:

In accordance with the provisions of Considering paragraphs 12 to 16 of this
Order, the State has complied with the final disbursement stipulated in the
agreements, in relation to the 264 victims or heirs of the 269 persons who signed the
agreements, and has forwarded the corresponding receipts.
2.
In accordance with the provisions of Considering paragraph 21 of this Order,
the State has complied by forwarding the vouchers of the guarantee certificates issued
for the fourth and final payment corresponding to the victim who has still not signed
the agreement, to the victim who, despite having signed it, has not withdrawn any of
the four payments and to the victim who signed the agreement on January 27, 2012.
3.
In accordance with Considering paragraphs 16 and 24, the procedure for
monitoring compliance with the Judgment shall remain open until the Court receives:
a) the receipts for the third payment made to the heirs of two victims; b) the receipts
for the fourth payment to the beneficiary who is resident in Brazil, to the beneficiary
for whom the required proof of payment has not been forwarded, as well as the
payment to the heirs of the victim who died after the third payment was made.
AND DECIDES:
1.
To require the State of Panama to continue adopting such measures as are
necessary to ensure effective and prompt compliance with the outstanding payments
