- 78 - by act and omission of public officials, and (b) the human rights violations declared in this judgment.324 224. Insofar as possible, the organization and characteristics of this public ceremony must be decided with the agreement and participation of the victims, if they so wish. To create awareness about the consequences of the facts of the instant case, this acknowledgement act or event should be held in the Congress of the Republic of Colombia, or in a prominent public place, in the presence of members of the two chambers, as well as the highest-ranking State authorities. 225. The State must organize this act within one year of notification of this judgment. c) Measures to commemorate and render homage to the victim 226. The Commission asked that the Court order the State to undertake a project to recover the historical memory of Manuel Cepeda Vargas as a political leader and social communicator, and to establish a place to commemorate him. Meanwhile, the representatives indicated that traditional commemoration mechanisms have not had much social impact in this case and therefore asked that the Court order the State to arrange, in coordination “with the next of kin, the writing, design, editing, publishing and definition of the distribution medium […], of a publication and a television documentary on the political life, career in journalism, and political leadership of Senator Cepeda to restitute his honor and reputation, to reclaim the democratic importance of his legacy, and to rectify the false information that State officials disseminated about him.” 227. The State rejected this measure of satisfaction requested by the representatives because a street and a monument already existed as places to commemorate Senator Cepeda Vargas and it considered that they were sufficient in relation to this matter. In its final arguments, the State clarified that the monument had been financed by the Manuel Cepeda Vargas Foundation, so that it should not be taken into account as a measure granted by the State. 228. As a measure of satisfaction, and given the importance of reclaiming the memory and dignity of Senator Cepeda Vargas, the Court assesses the representatives’ request, because such initiatives are significant for the preservation of the memory and satisfaction of the victims, and also for the recovery and reestablishment of the historical memory in a democratic society. Consequently, the Court finds it appropriate that the State prepare a publication and an audiovisual documentary on the political life, career in journalism and political role of Senator Cepeda, in coordination with his next of kin. 229. The video documentary on the facts that occurred must be shown on a national State television channel, once a week for a month. In addition the State must show the video in a public act in Bogotá, either a specific act or within the framework of the act of acknowledgement of responsibility. The said acts must be organized with the participation of the victims or their representatives. In addition, the video must be distributed as widely as possible among the victims, their representatives, and the 324 Cf. Case of the Ituango Massacres v.
