That as to the obligation to take the necessary measures to find the next of
kin of Juan Bautista and Huber Pérez (whose second last name was possibly
Castaño) and to deliver the corresponding reparations to them (paragraph 233 of the
Judgment), the State made reference to three publications printed in “El Tiempo”
newspaper, the newspaper with more national coverage, on June 16, 18 and 20,
2005. Furthermore, at the hearing the State furnished documentation evidencing
such publications, as well as two certifications proving the publications broadcasted
in a television station on June 15, 17 and 20, 2005 and in a radio station on June 16,
17 and 20, 2005.
63.
That, in spite of the obligation of the parties to provide the necessary
information so that the Tribunal is able to conduct an effective oversight and
assessment of the progress made in the compliance with the Judgment, the
representatives and the Commission did not present observations in that regard.
64.
That the Court notes that the State has complied with the publications and
the deposit of the compensatory amounts in favor of Messrs. Bautista and Pérez,
pursuant to the terms of operative paragraph twenty-one of the Judgment; therefore
the Court deems that the State has adopted sufficient measures to comply with this
obligation and so declares it.

That as to the reimbursement of the costs and expenses (operative paragraph
sixteen and paragraph 285 of the Judgment), the State requested the Court to
declare this aspect to be fulfilled, since “it has previously informed on the payment
[on April 7, 2006] of the costs ordered in the Judgment.” Furthermore, at the hearing
the State furnished an authorization to make a disbursement in favor of the
Colombian Jurists Commission and a letter from CEJIL where it authorized the former
organization to receive the reparations owed to the latter.
66.
That this Court required the representatives in the Order of July 10, 2007 “to
refer to the compliance with this aspect, in order to consider it fully complied with by
the State” (supra Having Seen clause 3). Likewise, in the Order to convene a
hearing, the President deemed “essential for the representatives to confirm whether
the reimbursement of the costs and expenses was made and, if applicable, for the
parties to furnish the respective receipts in order to determine the full compliance
with this measure of reparation" (supra Having Seen clause 7). Nevertheless, nor the
representatives or the Commission have presented observations in that regard,
despite the multiple requests of this Tribunal. Moreover, it spring from the court file
that the State furnished receipts of the payment of the costs to the Colombian Jurists
Commission and CEJIL. As a result, this Tribunal considers that the State has fully
complied with this aspect.
