B.2 Regarding the legal claims 36. Mexico acknowledged, clearly and expressly, its international responsibility for the violation of all the rights that were alleged, but not for all the reasons indicated by the Commission and the representatives in this case. Consequently, the Court considers that the dispute has ceased in relation to the violation of the rights of the eleven women to: (i) personal liberty and judicial guarantees (Articles 7(1), 7(2), 7(3), 7(4), 8(2)(b), 8(2)(d) and 8(2)(e) of the Convention), owing to the deprivation of liberty, the failure to notify the reasons for the detention and the lack of adequate defense counsel; (ii) personal integrity, privacy, the principle of equality, and the prohibition of discrimination and torture (Articles 5(1), 5(2), 11, 24 and 1(1) of the American Convention, 1 and 6 of the Inter-American Convention against Torture, and 7 of the Convention of Belém do Pará), owing to the physical, psychological and sexual abuse, including acts of torture, suffered by the eleven women victims in this case, as well as the lack of adequate medical care and the effects on their health; (iii) judicial guarantees, judicial protection and equality before the law (Articles 8, 24 and 25 of the Convention) and the obligation to investigate acts of torture and violence against women (Articles 1, 6 and 8 of the Inter-American Convention against Torture and 7 of the Convention of Belém do Pará), owing to the initial failure to investigate the facts ex officio and the inaccurate classification of the offenses made initially, and (iv) the obligation to adopt domestic legal provisions (Article 2 of the American Convention, 1, 6 and 8 of the Inter-American Convention against Torture, and 7(c), (e) and (h) of the Convention of Belém do Pará), owing to the lack of a domestic legal framework on the use of force and torture at the time of the facts.
