2 order to satisfy the basic needs of his family and himself. They indicate that Mr. Quispealaya has been able to survive due to the support of his elderly mother. 4. For its part, the State alleged that although a proceeding was taking place before the criminal military jurisdiction when the IACHR published Admissibility Report No. 19/05, at the present time the military-police jurisdiction in Peru has been reformed in order to be consistent with the Constitution and the American Convention. It indicated that the proceeding was reopened before the civil courts in 2007 and closed in 2008, given that Mr. Quispealaya could not be located and as a result, the pertinent medical-legal reports could not be realized in order to establish the length of his disability and the medical attention that he required. It indicated that the mere presence of a State official was not a sufficient element to characterize the alleged events as torture, because it is necessary that the intent to cause the victim pain or serious suffering be concurrent with some of the objectives of the act established in Peruvian law. It alleged that it was the place of the Attorney General, as the prosecutor of the criminal proceeding, to evaluate and characterize the acts that constitute the claim and to determine the criminal responsibility of an individual in relation to the alleged commission of a crime, a situation that could not materialize in the presumed case. It stated that the IACHR cannot intervene in this proceeding as a court of fourth instance, nor can it determine the criminal responsibility of an individual in relation to the alleged commission of a crime, because the criminal responsibility of the instructor was not proven in this case. 5. After analyzing the position of the parties, the Inter-American Commission concludes that the Peruvian State is responsible for the violation of the rights to personal integrity, enshrined in Articles 5(1) and 5(2) of the American Convention in relation to Article 1(1) of the same and in Article 8 of the Inter-American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture to the detriment of Mr. Quispealaya Vilcapoma; the right to judicial guarantees and protection enshrined in Articles 8(1) and 25 of the American Convention in relation to Article 1(1) of the same instrument, to the detriment of Mr. Quispealaya Vilcapoma, and the right to personal integrity according to Article 5(1) of the American Convention in relation to Article 1(1) of that instrument, to the detriment of Ms. Victoria Vilcapoma Taquia, mother of Valdemir Quispealaya Vilcapoma.

Additionally, the Commission requested that the petitioners, in accordance with Article 38(1) of the Rules of Procedure in place at the time, present their additional observations regarding the merits. On May 17, 2005, the Commission received a communication from the petitioners which expressed their disposition to reach a friendly settlement of the matter.
