23 (b) (c) keeping with the conclusions and recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Report”;62 In the sphere of the Executive Branch, “Supreme Decree No. 062-2004-PCM used the final report of the TRC as a basis for approving the Programmatic Framework for State action in relation to integral reparations […]”;63 With regards to the facts discussed before the Court in the instant case, the Prosecutor General’s Office “by a resolution of December 30, 2003 […] decided to forward the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Report about the “Rodrigo Franco Commando” to the Provincial Prosecutor Specialized in Forced Disappearances, Extrajudicial Executions and Exhumation of Clandestine Graves.”64 92. The Court has given special weight to the CVR report as relevant evidence in the determination of the acts and international responsibility of the Peruvian State in several cases that have been submitted to its consideration.65 The Court also notes that, since the publication of said Report in 2003, no judicial decision has negated the participation of State agents in the execution of Saúl Cantoral-Huamaní and Consuelo García-Santa Cruz or established that the perpetrators were individuals other than State agents in the context of the investigations conducted by the Attorney General’s Office. 93. Additionally, in support of their claims with respect to the “Rodrigo Franco Commando,” the Commission and the representatives invoked the majority report entitled “Agustín Mantilla and his connection to the self-called ‘Rodrigo Franco Democratic Commando,’” of a commission of the Congress of the Republic of Peru (the “Herrera Commission”), published in July 2003.66 This majority report of the Congress has a section entitled “comprehensive examination of cases” attributed to the said Commando, which include the murder of Saúl Cantoral-Huamaní and Consuelo García-Santa Cruz. The State did not contest this report. 94 Irrespective of the specific conclusions regarding the perpetrators of the murders, the Court notes that the majority and minority report of the Herrera Commission both agree on the existence of paramilitary activities at the time of the facts. In this respect, the minority report, referred to by the State to support one of its hypothesis that the perpetrators were not State agents, indicates that “evidence has been found of the activities of a paramilitary commando from 1986 to 1990, [although] neither DIRCOTE nor DIGMIN have been able to determine the identity of its members […].”67 Additionally, the report indicates that a member of the GRUDE police unit, who testified before the Herrera 62 Cf. act created the Integral Reparations (PIR), Act No. 28592 issued on July 20, 2005 (file of appendixes to the brief answering the application, appendix 14, page 1004). 63 Cf. supreme decree No. 047-2005-PCM, sixth whereas clause (file of appendixes to the brief answering the application, appendix 13, page 999). 64 Cf.

Peru, supra note 8, notes 17-24, 26, 87-88, 90, 92-94, 96, 112-113; Case of the Miguel Castro-Castro Prison v.
