28. The Court also received documents attached to the final written arguments presented by the
State 30 and the representatives.31 The Commission objected to part of the annexes to the State’s final
written arguments and indicated that it had no observations on the annexes of the alleged victim’s
representatives. The State noted that it had no objection to the documents that accompanied the
representatives' final arguments. The latter did not submit observations.
29. In relation to the documents attached as annexes A and B to the representatives’ final written
arguments, the Court notes that they are documents issued after the presentation of the brief of
pleadings and motions and, therefore, constitute evidence of supervening facts. Furthermore, it
considers them useful for understanding part of the reparation measures requested by the
representatives. In view of the above, said documents are admissible under the terms of Article 57(2)
of the Rules of Procedure.
30. Regarding the annexes to the final written arguments of Bolivia, the Commission argued that
annexes 1 to 6 were available prior to the date of presentation of the State's answering brief and
requested that said documentation not be admitted. The Court agrees with the Commission, since the
documents that correspond to annexes 1 to 6, presented by the State, are dated prior to the answering
brief, and are therefore inadmissible. The other annexes constitute evidence of supervening facts as
they were issued after the presentation of the answering brief. Additionally, some contain information
requested by the judges in the public hearing, therefore, the Court admits them.
B.
Admissibility of witness and expert evidence
31. The Court considers it pertinent to admit the statements made in public hearing,32, as well as
the statements made before a notary public33 as long as they conform to the purpose defined by the
President in the order for their receipt.34
together with the briefs submitted in the case, pleadings and motions or answering, as appropriate, and evidence submitted
outside of these procedural opportunities is not admissible, except for the objections established in the aforementioned article
57(2) of the Rules of Procedure (namely, force majeure, serious impediment) or unless it were a supervening event, that is,
one that occurred after the aforementioned procedural moments. Cf. Case of Barrios Family v. Venezuela. Merits, Reparations
and Costs. Judgment of November 24, 2011. Series C No. 237, paras. 17 and 18, and Case of Aroca Palma et al. v. Ecuador.
