JUDGE JULIO A. BARBERIS MAKES THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT:
I do not agree with Chapter VII of the foregoing decision, “Violation or Articles 8 and
25. Right to Fair Trial and Right to Judicial Protection”. The judgment should have
based violation of articles 8(1) and 25(1) of the Convention by Colombia, with no
further consideration, on the following two facts recognized by Colombia:
a)
The period of more than ten years elapsed since the Las Palmeras case
took place, without any definitive judgment having been made as yet
regarding its authors;
b)
The hindrances and obstacles placed by the agents of the State to
obstruct criminal prosecution.
