-6- 3. Immediately establish a procedure to forge effective ties between Flor de María Ramírez Escobar and Gustavo Tobar Fajardo and the Ramírez children, in accordance with the wishes of the latter and taking their views into account. 4. The State must immediately provide the victims with such medical and psychological or psychiatric treatment as they request. 5. Order the administrative, disciplinary, or criminal measures that correspond to the acts or omissions of the State officials who participated in the facts of this case. 6. Adopt the necessary measures of non-repetition, including legislative and other measures, to ensure that, both in their regulation and in practice, adoptions in Guatemala comply with the international standards described in the report. d) Notification of the Merits Report. The Merits Report was notified to the State on November 12, 2015, granting it two months to report on compliance with the recommendations. Following an extension, the State of Guatemala submitted a brief on February 8, 2016, in which it rejected the conclusions of the Merits Report and indicated, among other matters, that it was not appropriate to grant any type of reparation to the victims because the State had, “at all times, guarantee[d] the human rights of the Ramírez brothers, as it had sought their best interests, considering their need to be integrated into a family.” II PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE COURT
