3 find in this one the restorative justice; they were both so different from, v.g. dictators and criminals such as Stalin and General Franco, who, on their deathbeds, close to all types of attentions, had the natural death they denied all their victims of secret operations. 10. The intentions of the Providence are inscrutable, when they do not prevent the victims of radical evil from being brutalized, while the victimizers – when there is no justice – keep on enjoying a safe and normal life. The intentions of the Providence are inscrutable, when it concedes a natural death to the impious and impure, and when it does not avoid the self-inflicted death of those that cultivated so much the life of the spirit with their luminous thinking, and they continue to inspire and orient those that insist on turning this brutal and ephemeral world into at least a harmonious one. The intentions of the Providence are inscrutable when it allows the death of so many in the humiliation of abandonment, even those that were so sensible to human suffering in such a tyrant world. III. Time and Vindication of Rights. 11. In the second half of the XX century, time (which, the same as the threat and use of force, and armed conflicts, so much pressures humanity) has tried to be explained not as an objective piece of information (as was intended by I. Newton at the end of the XVII century and beginning of the XVIII century), or as structure a priori of the spirit (as stated by I. Kant in the XVIII century), but instead as a social symbol conformed at the end of a long process of human learning. 6 On my part, I do not feel persuaded or sure in this sense. The attempts to explain time have, each one of them, their own merits, and some of them are especially penetrating. 12. That is the case, v.g., of those who have sought to link time to the precariousness of human condition, and – more subjectively – to each person’s conscience (v.g. R. Descartes, in the XVII century, and E. Husserl, at the beginning of the XX century). I am afraid that, despite all the efforts made in the search for an explanation, time will continue to surround human existence, as has always happened, now and forever. The human being is not the creator of time, but conditioned by it, by their time, - as well known by those who have lived in times of dictatorships and tyrannies. Time plays an essential role in the existential situation of the human being (totally different from the intemporal vision intended by classic physics. 7 Time precedes the existence of every human being, 8 and survives it. 13. In the public hearing held before this Court in the present case of the Castro Castro Prison, carried out in the exterior meeting in San Salvador, El Salvador, on the 16th and 27th days of June 2006, the common intervener of the representatives of the victims and their next of kin, and also a victim of the present case (Mrs. Mónica Feria Tinta), stated that “14 years change and do not change things.” In a certain sense, “time has stopped”, since for nine years her life has been consumed in the investigation of this case; among the victimized mothers, one (Mrs. Auqui) died last year, and another told her about the death of her son.
