ORDER OF THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS 1 OF AUGUST 21, 2013 CASE OF ANZUALDO CASTRO v. PERU MONITORING OF COMPLIANCE WITH JUDGMENT HAVING SEEN: 1. The Judgment on Preliminary Objections, Merits, Reparations and Costs (hereinafter “the Judgment”) rendered by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (hereinafter “the Inter-American Court,” “the Court,” or “the Tribunal”) on September 22, 2009. The facts refer to the enforced disappearance of Mr. Kenneth Ney Anzualdo Castro, showing that State agents deprived him of his liberty, kidnapped him on December 16, 1993, and took him to the basements of the SIE (Army Intelligence Service), where he has remained in custody for an undetermined period of time, and to this date, his whereabouts remain unknown. In this regard, the Court found that the State was responsible for the forced disappearance of Mr. Anzualdo Castro and, as a consequence, violated the rights to personal liberty, life, and juridical personality, established in Articles 7(1), 7(6), 5(1), 5(2), 4(1), and 3 of the American Convention on Human Rights (hereinafter “the American Convention” or “the Convention”), in relation to the obligations established in Article 1(1) thereof, as well as Article I of the Inter-American Convention on Enforced Disappearance of Persons, to the detriment of the victim. In this regard, the Court stated that: 5. The State must effectively conduct the criminal proceedings in process and any future proceeding in relation to the enforced disappearance of Kenneth Ney Anzualdo Castro, to determine, within a reasonable time, the perpetrators and instigators who are responsible for the facts of this case and effectively impose the punishments and consequences according to the law, for which it must remove all obstacles, both factual and legal, that hinder the appropriate investigation into the facts and shall not apply any law or domestic legal provision, present or future, to escape from this obligation, under the terms of paragraphs 179 to 183 of [the] Judgment. 6. The State shall immediately proceed to search for and locate Kenneth Ney Anzualdo Castro or, if applicable, his mortal remains, by means of the criminal investigation or any other adequate and effective procedure under the terms of paragraphs 185 of [the] Judgment. 7. The State must continue making all the necessary efforts and adopt the administrative and legal measures and public policies that may correspond, to determine and identify the people who disappeared during the internal conflict according to the most effective technical and scientific means and, as long as it is possible and scientifically advisable, by the standardization of the investigation criteria, for which it is convenient to establish a system of genetic information that would allow the determination and elucidation of the blood relationship of the victims and their identification, under the terms of paragraphs 188 and 189 of [the] Judgment. 8. The State must adopt the necessary measures to reform, within a reasonable time, its criminal legislation as to enforced disappearance of persons, in order to render it consistent with the international standards, paying special attention to the terms of the American Convention and the Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappearance of Persons, under the terms of paragraphs 165 to 167 and 191 of [the] Judgment. 1 Judge Diego García Sayán, of Peruvian nationality, did not participate in the hearing and deliberation of this Order, pursuant to that provided in Articles 19(2) of the Statute and 19(1) of the Court Rules of Procedure.
