Johana Carolina Lizcano Jacanamijoy (daughter) María Córdula Mora Jacanamijoy (sister) US $6,000.00 US $2,500.00 61. It has been proven in these proceedings that some members of the police and other officials distorted evidence regarding what happened at Las Palmeras and persecuted the next of kin of the victims, subjecting them to affront, maltreatment, and insults. It has also been proven that this happened mainly in Mocoa. Since this is a small town and taking into account the evidence supplied, it was there that the State authorities primarily persecuted the next of kin of the victims. Therefore, the Court deems it appropriate to rule that the next of kin of the victims not included in paragraphs 56 to 60 who were living in Mocoa at the time of the facts judged in these proceedings and who continue to live there until today, should likewise be indemnified for the maltreatment suffered. The Court also deems that for the purposes of this case, the fact that next of kin not included in paragraphs 56 to 60 demanded prompt conclusion of the proceedings instituted before domestic entities is sufficient evidence of affective ties. It should be pointed out that these must be explicit requests for prompt punishment of those responsible. Since, given the circumstances of this case, it is not possible to individualize the next of kin who are beneficiaries of this paragraph 61, each of them will receive US$ 6,000.00 (six thousand United States dollars) if they are parents or children, and US$ 2,500.00 (two thousand five hundred United States dollars) to each of the siblings.

This resolution was declared firm, without it being contested by the State to avoid its becoming res judicata, and therefore the State took no steps to comply with the provisions of the judgment on the merits, and the possibility of comprehensive elucidation of the facts has been closed. Therefore, the Court should order the State, as reparation for the right of the next of kin to the truth, to establish an investigative group, with the status of a truth committee, to elucidate how the fact occurred and to submit a report in this regard to the Court; b) it is an obligation of the State to render justice and to ensure the next of kin of the victims that the authors of the violations are adequately punished with the aim or eradicating impunity. Ten years later it is not possible to point out to the victims that it was their duty to participate in the
