The Commission “value[d]” the adoption of measures “to clarify past disappearances,” but mentioned that “it does not have enough elements” to issue a ruling on these measures. 61. The Court values the efforts made by the State in order to comply with this Operative Paragraph of the Judgment. However, it considers that it still requires more information on the different initiatives mentioned, especially regarding the measures of protection for procedural subjects and access to the information in the army’s files. 62. THEREFORE: THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, in exercising its power to monitor compliance with its own decisions pursuant to Articles 33, 62(1), 63(2), 67 and 68(1) of the American Convention on Human Rights, 30 of its Statutes, and 31 and 69 of its Rules of Procedure, DECLARES: 1.
