IV PROVEN FACTS AND COMPLIANCE OF CERTAIN MEASURES OF REPARATION ORDERED IN THE JUDGMENT (THE STATE’S REQUEST FOR INTERPRETATION) The State’s Request for Interpretation 28. In its request for interpretation the State indicated that two of the facts proven in the Judgment of this Tribunal, included in paragraphs 197(1) and 197(5), should be clarified since they “reflect a situation that does not coincide with the reality of the violent actions lived by Peru in the hands of [Sendero Luminoso],” and that said facts “have their logical corollary in Operative Paragraphs” and “they derive, through a certain intrinsic logic, in a determined modality of compliance of the Judgment.” Regarding the fact proven in paragraph 197(1), which establishes that there was in Peru a conflict between “armed groups and agents of the police and military forces,” the State requests that the reference to “armed groups” be clarified, since the Commission of Truth and Reconciliation of Peru (CVR) considered Sendero Luminoso a “subversive terrorist movement responsible for serious violations of human rights and crimes against humanity.” Regarding the fact proven in paragraph 197(5), which refers to complaints received and information of the CVR on violations to human rights in Peru, the State requests that the “predominant nature of acts of violence and violation of human rights perpetrated by [Sendero Luminoso]” be clarified. 29.

This, according to the State, based on the fact that this case differs from others “in the sense that the victims were not deprived of their freedom in a prison or had never committed acts classified as a crime against public tranquility – specifically, terrorism.” That request for 8
