of the proceedings, the possibility of effective intervention by the next of kin, and the dissemination of the eventual judgment “in the province’s mass media.” 339. In this regard, the State affirmed the “inadmissibility of any measure of reparation related to […] the death of David Videla Fernández and the judicial investigations opened concerning this incident,” because it considers that it was “international res judicata.” C.1.2. Considerations of the Court 340. According to the considerations on the merits set out in Chapter X of this Judgment, the Argentine State has the obligation to investigate with due diligence, the possible responsibilities of the personnel of the Mendoza Prison for the presumed failure to comply with their duty to prevent violations of the right to life of Ricardo David Videla (supra paras. 216 to 229). Therefore, the State must comply with the said obligation to investigate and, as appropriate, sanction, by means of the pertinent judicial, disciplinary or administrative mechanisms, the acts that could have contributed to the death of Ricardo David Videla in that prison. 403 341. Furthermore, the victim’s next of kin or their representatives must have full access and legal standing at all stages and levels of the domestic criminal proceedings held in this case, in accordance with domestic legislation and the American Convention. The results of these proceedings must be published by the State, so that the Argentine society can know the truth regarding the facts of this case. 404 C.2. Investigation into the acts of torture suffered by Lucas Matías Mendoza and Claudio David Núñez C.2.1. Arguments of the Commission and pleadings of the parties 342. The Commission asked the Court to order the Argentine State “to conduct a complete, impartial and effective investigation, within a reasonable time, to clarify the acts of torture suffered by Lucas Matías Mendoza and Claudio David Núñez, and, as appropriate, impose the corresponding sanctions. The representative and the State did not present arguments in this regard. C.2.2. Considerations of the Court 343. In this Judgment, the Court has determined that the State violated, to the detriment of Claudio David Núñez and Lucas Matías Mendoza, Articles 5(1), 5(2), 8 and 25 of the American Convention, in relation to Article 1(1) of this treaty, as well Articles 1, 6 and 8 of the Inter-American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture, because the State closed the investigations opened into the torture committed against them, without Argentina having provided a satisfactory and convincing explanation of what happened (supra paras. 232 to 236). 403 Cf.
