On April 6, 2001, Mrs. Ana Luiza Loureiro de Vasconcellos submitted a psychiatric report on the therapy the victim had received. On April 19, the Secretariat informed the victim’s representatives and the Commission that the Court could not consider that report until such time as one of the parties filed a formal request to have it added to the body of evidence.
