The Court will examine the State's partial acknowledgment of international responsibility in the following sections: a) regarding Noel Emiro Omeara Carrascal; b) regarding Manuel Guillermo Omeara Miraval; c) regarding Héctor Álvarez Sánchez, and d) regarding the Omeara Miraval, Omeara Álvarez and Álvarez Solano families. A.1. Regarding Noel Emiro Omeara Carrascal 16. In relation to the attack on and subsequent death of Noel Emiro Omeara Carrascal, the State partially acknowledged its international responsibility in the following terms: a) by action, for the violation of the rights to life (Article 4) and humane treatment (Article 5) of the American Convention, in relation to 1(1) of the Convention; for the actions of state agents in conjunction with illegal armed groups that acted jointly in the attack and subsequent death of Noel Emiro Omeara Carrascal, and b) by omission, for the violation of the rights to a fair trial (Article 8) and judicial protection (Article 25) of the American Convention, in relation to 1(1) of the Convention, to the detriment of the next of kin of Noel Emiro Omeara Carrascal; by omission by failing to comply with the duty of due diligence in the investigation of the attack against Mr. Omeara Carrascal, as it was delayed in incorporating this fact, on July 31, 1998, into the investigation of the homicide of José Erminso Sepúlveda Saravia, which it initiated on January 31, 1994. 17.

In other words, the State did not assume “things in their real dimension and true name: only calling the structure that participated in the crime an illegal armed group when speaking of a paramilitary group, ‘Los Prada’.” In addition, it does not contain all the facts outlined in the factual framework of the Merits Report. Regarding a fair trial and judicial protection, the recognition does not cover the lack of coordination between the three criminal proceedings and the absence of fundamental investigative procedures. They requested that the acknowledgment be dismissed. 18. The Commission stated that the acknowledgment of responsibility does not cover facts relating to the breach of the duty to prevent, that is, the State's failure to adopt adequate measures to address the situation of risk in which José Erminso Sepúlveda Saravia found himself, despite having full knowledge of it and having a direct causal link with the attack that occurred on January 28, 1994 and the international responsibility of the State for these events. Nor does it cover the lack of duty to investigate the facts with due diligence, nor the lack of connection between the investigations. A.2. Regarding Manuel Guillermo Omeara Miraval 19.
