After analyzing the positions of the parties, the Inter-American Commission concludes
that the Peruvian State is responsible for violating the rights to life, to humane treatment, to a fair trial,
and to judicial protection, enshrined in Articles 4, 5, 8, and 25 of the American Convention, in conjunction
with the obligations set out in Articles 1.1 and 2 thereof, with respect to the individuals identified in this
report. However, the Commission believes that since the competent courts convicted the perpetrator of
those actions and enforced the payment of compensation to the families of the deceased victims and to
Alberto Bejarano Laura, as provided for in the judgment of July 23, 2008, the violation of articles 4 and 5
of the American Convention with respect to Zulma Tarazona Arrieta, Norma Teresa Perez y Alberto
Bejarano Laura was remedied in part.
