226. The Court deems that the denial of justice to the victims of grave human
rights violations, as in the case of a massacre, results in a series of problems, both
individually and collectively.245 In this regard, it is evident that the victims of
prolonged impunity suffer different infringements in their search for justice, not only
materially, but also other suffering and damages of a psychological and physical
nature and in their life projects, as well as other potential alterations to their social
relations and to the dynamics of their families and communities.246 The Court has
indicated that these damages are intensified by the lack of support of the state
authorities in an effective search and identification of the remains, and by the
impossibility of properly honoring their dear ones.247 In view of this situation, the
Court has considered the need to provide different types of reparation so as to fully
redress the damages, therefore in addition to pecuniary measures, other measures
such as satisfaction, restitution, rehabilitation, and guarantees of non-repetition have
special relevance due to the gravity of the infringements and collective nature of the
damage caused.248
227. The Court has established that reparations must have a causal connection to
the facts of the case, violations declared, proven damages, and to the measures
requested for reparation of the corresponding damages. The Court must therefore
observe these conditions in order to adjudge and declare adequately and according to
law.249
228. In accordance with the considerations on the merits and the violations to the
Convention declared in the preceding chapters, as well as in light of the criteria
established in the Court’s jurisprudence in connection with the nature and scope of
