4 victims to their next of kin, it stated that it had taken viable measures and continued all possible efforts to locate the bodies. Lastly, it indicated that owing to “obstacles of a domestic nature, which d[id] not depend on the [State] authorities,” it had not been possible to set up the trust funds, since the bid had been declared void. 9. Note CDH-10,319-607 of February 6, 1998, in which the Secretariat of the Court (hereinafter “the Secretariat”), on the instructions of the Court, requested the State to provide information on the possibility of finding alternatives that would facilitate setting up the trust funds ordered in favor of the minor children of Isidro Caballero Delgado. 10. The fourth report of the State of March 24, 1998, in which it indicated that the setting up of the trust fund had been opened to tender and that this had been declared void, so that it was awaiting authorization so as to be able to sign a contract directly with the banking service. 11. The brief of Luis Carlos Domínguez Prada of April 24, 1998, and its attachment, in which he advised that the Minister of National Defense had issued “Resolution No. 14,818 of November 28, 1997, derogating paragraph number 65 of Chapter XVIII of the judgment that order[ed] the payment of interest should payments fall in arrears [and ordering], in its first article, that interest should not be paid to the minor [Ingrid Carolina Caballero Martínez], but should accumulate to the capital of the trust fund.” 12. The brief of the State of June 12, 1998, in which it indicated that on June 10, 1998, it had forwarded “to the Sociedad Fiduciaria Cooperativa de Colombia (FIDUBANCOOP), for signature, the contract document authorizing it to set up a trust fund in favor of the minors [Iván Andrés Caballero Parra and Ingrid Carolina Caballero Martínez].” 13.

It therefore requested the Court to approve the following modification in the trust contract: 1) To eliminate the requirement to have to pay each of the minors, on attaining their majority, the equivalent [of] US$26,500.00, taking into account that should the investment be made in that currency, the requirements in Colombian pesos would be approximately $175,000 monthly for each one […],” and 2) To substitute the obligation to set up a trust fund “by the investment in term deposit certificates [hereinafter “TDCs”] in the name of the Ministry of National Defense and of each of the minors.” 14. Note CDH/10,319-640 of December 22, 1998, in which the Secretariat, on the instructions of the whole Court, requested the State to clarify its first request in the brief of September 30, 1998 (supra thirteenth having seen paragraph). 15.
