65 the obligation to make reparations,250 the Court shall now address the requests for reparations made by the Commission and the representatives, as well as the State’s arguments in that regard, so as to establish the measures required to redress those violations. B) Obligation to investigate the facts and identify, prosecute, and punish those responsible B.1) Full investigation, determination, prosecution, and punishment of all perpetrators and masterminds 229. Both the Commission and the representatives requested the Court to order the State to perform a special, rigorous, impartial, and effective investigation on the truth of the facts of massacre, as well as to adopt the legal and administrative measures necessary to locate, prosecute, and punish the masterminds and perpetrators of the facts of the massacre, and requested the adoption of the measures necessary so that amnesty provisions contrary to the American Convention are not applied. On the other hand, the representatives considered necessary for those investigation measures to be applied with regards to: a) all participants in the facts of the massacre of the Las Dos Erres community; b) those responsible for the different acts of intimidation and harassment against the different individuals involved in the investigations, and c) those responsible for the irregularities committed in the judicial proceedings. Additionally, the representatives requested the State to conclude the proceeding established in the LRN and to continue the existing criminal proceeding. 230. In this regard, the State recognized the unjustified delay in justice. However, it requested the Court to value its efforts, such as the identification of 20 allegedly responsible individuals and the arrest warrants against 17 of them. 231. In this judgment the Court has established, in conformity with the State’s recognition of international responsibility and the declaration of the violation of Articles 8(1) and 25(1) of the Convention, that the investigation carried out in the instant case has not constituted an effective remedy to guarantee the victims’ true access to justice, within a reasonable term, and encompassing an elucidation of the facts, investigation, pursuit, arrest, prosecution, and eventual punishment of all those allegedly responsible for the massacre, so as to fully and thoroughly examine the multiple infringements caused on the inhabitants of the Las Dos Erres community because of the facts. This investigation has not been performed seriously or exhaustively, nor free of obstacles and irregularities (supra para. 152 and 153). 232. As in other cases,251 the Court values the publication of a report by the CEH, Guatemala: Memory of Silence, which includes the case of the Las Dos Erres Massacre, as an effort which has contributed to the search for and determination of the truth on a historical period in Guatemala. Nevertheless, the Court deems it pertinent to note that the “historical truth” contained in this report does not complete or substitute the State’s obligation to establish the truth and ensure the judicial 250 Cf.
