15 paragraph 273 of the Judgment), the State informed that it organized meetings with the victims' next-of-kin in order to consider a monument proposal and, in accordance with the opinion stated by 15 of the 18 families of the victims as to the specific place to locate the monument and the sculpture, “the State has taken administrative actions at the national and regional level to build and locate the monument” in Parque de los Niños, in the city of Bucaramanga. In a meeting held after the hearing, it was agreed upon a schedule and some actions for the central Government to facilitate the administrative proceedings at the local level and begin with the building of the monument at the earliest convenience (supra Having Seen 14). 26. That according to the representatives, this measure has encountered obstacles in its compliance and little action of the authorities. The next-of-kin of the victims expressed their agreement and consent to the proposal presented by the artist in charge of the creation of the monument in October 2007. In April 2008, the Mayor’s Office of Bucaramanga communicated them that the initial place agreed upon to locate the monument – the “Luis Carlos Galán” Park- was not longer viable and that, after several meetings, they accepted that the monument be located in Parque de los Niños and defined the exact place in December 2008. Since that time, no progress has been made since the State informs that is still processing the hiring of the artist and the permits of the local authorities. Furthermore, the State undertook to establish a regular follow-up mechanism to learn and solve the impediments that might appear, which has not been elaborated. The representatives requested the State to undertake to carry out the effective execution of the monument in this year. 27. That the Commission valued the participation given to the victims in the election of the place, emphasized the need to overcome the obstacles that have appeared and urged the State to finish the monument as soon as practicable. 28. That this Tribunal values the actions taken and progress made to comply with this obligation, as well as the will to look for agreement shown by the state authorities and the victims' next-of-kin and their representatives. Nevertheless, it considers that the central and local authorities must conduct coordination activities in order to finish the building and location of said monument in order to fully comply with this measure of reparation as soon as practicable and, if possible, during this year. * * * 29. That as to the obligation to provide, free of charge, through its specialized health institutions, the medical and psychological treatment required by the next of kin of the victims (operative paragraph nine and paragraphs 277 and 278 of the Judgment), the State acknowledged that this measure was late executed and submitted information on the proceeding carried out to hire an institution to provide the necessary treatment for the next-of-kin. The State communicated that this aspect is being complied with together with other Judgments delivered by the Court; for this reason, it made reference to what was informed in the procedure to monitor compliance in the case of Pueblo Bello Massacre. It pointed out that it entered into a technical cooperation agreement with the United States Development Program
