Order the corresponding administrative, disciplinary or criminal measures for the acts or omissions of the state officials who contributed to the different aspects of the denial of justice identified in the […] report. 5.

The content of this measure must be extended to medical personnel and any state officials responsible for the different stages of an investigation into events such as those that occurred in this case. Also, the State must reinforce institutional capacity to ensure that investigations into cases of alleged sexual violence, in general, and of sexual torture by state agents, in particular, are compatible with the standards described in the [report].
