This circumstance and continuation of impunity in this regard constitute a source of extraordinary humiliation and suffering of their next of kin. 122. This Court has several times stated that the next of kin have the right to know the whereabouts of the mortal remains of their beloved ones. It has also stated that their demands in this regard are in accordance with “a just expectation that the State is obligated to use the means at its disposal to satisfy”.194 123. The Court deems that delivery of the mortal remains is in itself an act of reparation as it leads to restore the dignity of the victims, to honor the value of their memory to those who were their beloved ones, and to allow them to adequately bury them.195 124. The State must, therefore, locate, exhume, identify by means of undoubtedly suitable techniques and instruments, the remains of the victims mentioned in the paragraphs immediately above. The costs of the ensuing burial, in the place chosen by the next of kin, must be covered by the State. The mortal remains of Elsa Teotiste Ramírez Caminero, in accordance with the wishes of her next of kin, must be transferred and buried in the Dominican Republic, which is the country of origin of the victim, and the cost must be covered by the State. 125. The State must, also, locate, exhume, identify and deliver to the next of kin the remains of those persons whose deaths were not attributed to the State in the judgment on the merits, but whose next of kin also have the right to know their whereabouts. These persons are: Jesús Salvador Cedeño, Jesús Rafael Villalobos, Abelardo Antonio Pérez, and Andrés Eloy Suárez Sánchez, who are the victims of a violation of Articles 8 and 25 of the Convention. * * * 126. So as to give impetus to the criminal proceedings in connection with the facts, to provide guarantees of non-recidivism of the latter, to take steps in the struggle against impunity, and to advance in the process of locating the mortal remains of all the aforementioned victims, it is relevant for the State to take all necessary steps to renew and complete, as soon as possible and applying suitable techniques and instruments, the process of exhumation and identification of the persons buried in the “La Peste” Sector of the General Southern Cemetery, in Caracas. Specifically, it must renew and complete the identification of the persons whose bodies were 194 Velásquez Rodríguez Case. July 29, 1988 Judgment. Series C No. 4, para. 181.
