45 taken root which facilitates and encourages terrible violations of human rights,” and the United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime indicated that the diverse and complex factors of the criminal phenomenon in Ciudad Juárez “had tested a system that was insufficient, which has been manifestly overwhelmed by the challenge of crimes for which it was unprepared, resulting in an institutional collapse that has determined the general impunity of those responsible for the crimes.”155 159. The Tribunal observes that the various reports include different figures for the cases of murders of women in Ciudad Juárez.156 According to the official figures provided by the State, which were not contested by the other parties, of 379 cases of murders of women in Ciudad Juárez between 1993 and 2005, 145 had been tried with judgments convicting the accused by 2005;157 this represents around 38.5%. The State also provided the Court with a list of 203 final judgments concerning murders of women up until September 2008; of these, 192 are judgments convicting the accused.158 In this regard, the Court observes that the State did not provide information on the global number of killings up until 2009, or any evidence with regard to its assertions that, in 2008, 41.33% of the murders of women had been resolved by a jurisdictional body and 3.92% by the Juvenile Court. 160. Regarding the judgments, specifically the sentences imposed on individuals responsible for intentional murder, the Special Prosecutor’s Office observed in its 2006 report that they averaged no more than 15 years’ imprisonment, even though most of the killings were committed with aggravating circumstances and that this: may have been owing to a judicial policy that must be duly reviewed by the Judicial Branch of the State, or to the fact that the Public Prosecutor’s Office within the ordinary jurisdiction did not take all the necessary measures to provide the judges with elements enabling them to punish those responsible more severely.159 161. A related aspect included in the reports is that there are fewer judgments, and the punishments are less, in cases of murders of women with sexual elements. On this point, according to figures that the State provided to the Inter-American Commission, of 229 cases involving the murder of women between 1993 and 2003,160 159 were cases with non-sexual motives and, of these, 129 had “concluded”, while of 70 cases of murders of women with a sexual motive, only 24 had “concluded.”161 It is important to 155 Report of the United Nations Commission of International Experts, supra note 76, folio 1869. 156 Cf.
