RECOMMENDATIONS
314.
On the basis of the aforementioned conclusions,
THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS RECOMMENDS TO THE STATE OF
COLOMBIA,
1.
That it fully repairs the human rights violations established in this report, both in their
material and moral aspects.
2.
That it conducts a full and effective investigation of the human rights violations established
in this report, including the criminal, administrative or other responsibilities that may be found. In the
context of these investigations, the authorities must take into account the elements that led the Commission
to establish the existence of a modus operandi in this merits report.
3.
That it adopt all legislative, administrative and other measures to ensure the non-repetition
of events such as those in this case. In particular, to ensure that the use of lethal force by State agents is
compatible with the standards described in this report and that it adopts measures aimed at eradicating the
problem of the so-called “false positives”, which follow the modus operandi described in this report, and that
the military criminal justice system does not hear cases of human rights violations.
