taken to this end. In addition, the State must provide information on the way in which the
said remains exhumed in “La Madre” have been handled,18 because the representatives
have raised a series of objections in this regard (supra considering paragraph 15).
Furthermore, the Court observes that, according to the representatives, the entity in charge
of the search for Mr. Ibsen Peña, the Inter-institutional Council for the Clarification of Forced
Disappearances (CIEDEF), has not been functioning since January 2012. Consequently, the
State is requested to provide information on the operation of this entity and, if appropriate,
with regard to any other entity that may be in charge of the search for the whereabouts of
José Luis Ibsen Peña.
C) Obligation to publish specific paragraphs of the Judgment in the Official
Gazette, the official summary of the Judgment in a national newspaper with
widespread circulation, and the complete Judgment on an appropriate website
(tenth operative paragraph of the Judgment)
18.
The State advised that, on November 15, 2010, it had published the paragraphs
ordered in the Judgment in the State’s Official Gazette; that, on November 25, 2011, it had
published the complete Judgment on the webpage of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and
that, on January 16, 2013, it had published the official summary of the Judgment in the
national newspaper, “El Diario.”
19.
The representatives indicated that, although the State had complied with this
measure of reparation, it had not made the publications ordered within the time frames
established in the Judgment.
20.
The Inter-American Commission stated that the obligation to publish the pertinent
parts of the Judgment in the Official Gazette, as well as the complete text of the Judgment
on an official website, had been fulfilled. In addition, in a brief of November 23, 2011, it
recalled that the summary to be published in a national newspaper was the one “issued and
notified by the Inter-American Court together with the Judgment and, consequently, it
would be inappropriate to modify its content.”
21.
The Court observes that the State forwarded, together with its briefs, a copy of the
publication made on November 15, 2010, in the Official Gazette of the Plurinational State of
Bolivia as established in the Judgment,19 and a copy of the publication of the official
summary of the Judgment published on February 16, 2013, in the newspaper, “El Diario.”20
Furthermore, it provided the link to the publication of the Judgment on the webpage of the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.21 Thus, taking into account the information presented by the
parties and by the Commission, and the documentary support provided, the Court considers
that the State has complied fully with the tenth operative paragraph of its Judgment.

The representatives sent the Court a series of photographs of the remains found in the “La Madre”
cemetery. However, based on these photographs, it is not possible to verify the assertions of the representatives
about the presumed “mishandling,” public exhibition, and “lack of appropriate transfer” that these remains may
have experienced. Cf. Photographs forwarded with the representatives’ brief of November 8, 2012 (file on
monitoring compliance, tome I, folios 718 to 725).
