context of proceedings that have already been submitted to and/or decided by the organs of the inter-American system. Accordingly, given the invocation that the State has been making the case would allow for a pronouncement by the Court on the Law on National Reconciliation, its non-applicability to facts such as those in the instant case, and the way in which an interpretation of that provision incompatible with inter-American case-law would make it possible to consolidate the situation of structural impunity one finds in Guatemala with respect to grave violations of human rights during the armed conflict. As these issues significantly affect inter-American public order, as per Article 35(1)(f) of the Inter-American Court’s Rules of Procedure, the Commission takes this opportunity to offer the following expert witness statements: Expert/whose name will be provided soon, who will testify on the scope and elements of integral reparation in a case such as the instant one, in which the human rights violations were especially grave and widespread, to the point of tearing apart the social and cultural cohesion of an entire community. The expert will analyze those parameters, the reparations offered by domestic systems, and their scope in cases already before the inter-American system. In addition, special emphasis will be placed on Guatemala’s situation. Expert/whose name will be provided soon, who will testify on the structural situation of impunity in Guatemala for human rights violations committed during the internal armed conflict. The expert will analyze the factors that have contributed to that situation in the past, as well as the emerging context with the invoking the Law on National Reconciliation. On this aspect, the expert will refer to international standards on amnesty laws, especially after an internal armed conflict, with special emphasis on the Law on National Reconciliation in the context of grave violations of human rights, crimes against humanity, genocide, and war crimes, such as those that occurred in this case. The curriculum vitae of the experts offered will be included in the attachments to Report on the Merits 6/14. The Commission informs the Court of the following information on those who have served as petitioners throughout the processing of this case: Wuilfredo Ivoy Morales María Dolores Iztep Manuel xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sincerely yours, Signed in the original Elizabeth Abi-Mershed Assistant Executive Secretary
