73 disappearance of children in El Salvador, as well as the progress made toward complying with them. In addition, it stated that it would produce a video on the life and legacy of the priest Father Jon Cortina S.J., and the work of the Asociación Pro-Búsqueda de Niños y Niñas Desaparecidos. 210. The Court assesses positively the State’s willingness to comply with the reparations requested by the representatives under this aspect of the judgment. Given the circumstances of this case, the Court considers it important to prepare an audiovisual documentary on the forced disappearance of children during the armed conflict in El Salvador that makes specific mention of this case and that includes the work done by the Asociación Pro-Búsqueda de Niños y Niñas Desaparecidos, the content of which must be agreed on previously with the victims and their representatives. The State must assume the expenses arising from the production and distribution of this video. The Court considers that the video must be distributed as widely as possible among the victims, their representatives, and the country’s schools and universities, for its subsequent promotion and dissemination, with the ultimate purpose of informing Salvadoran society about these facts. The video must be transmitted at least once during prime time on a national channel, and placed on the web page of the search for disappeared children ordered by the Court in the case of the Serrano Cruz Sisters. The State has two years from notification of this judgment to carry out these measures. D. Guarantees of non-repetition 1. Public access to State archives 211. The Commission indicated the need to open the military archives and that the State “establish the necessary conditions for these archives to be made available to all the investigators and all the committees and all the prosecutors working on this case.” The representatives asked the Court to order the State to “make the military archives from the period of internal conflict public” and to ensure that the information “is adequately safeguarded and protected.” To this end, the State must “make all the necessary financial, human and technical resources available to the entity designated as custodian so that it can carry out the work of classifying and safeguarding the documentation.” The State reported on the entry into force of the Law on Access to Public Information on April 8, 2011, which “will provide an internal mechanism for accessing information on government activities allegedly related to the disappearance of children during the internal armed conflict.” It also provides for “the creation of Access to Public Information Units” and “the creation of an Institute for Access to Public Information,” with its own legal personality and funding, which will be responsible for overseeing the application of the law. In addition, the State advised that the law includes “a control mechanism, if no response is received to a request for information.” 212. The Court assesses positively the initiative taken by El Salvador to allow access to information related to government activities allegedly related to the disappearance of children during the internal armed conflict. In particular, with regard to the control mechanism if no response is received to a request for information. Although there is no indication that this law was applied in this case with regard to the victims, the Court has observed that one of the constraints to progress in the investigations is the lack of access to the information contained in the archives on the counterinsurgency operations and on the individuals, and military units and ranks that took part in the operations in which the victims in this case were disappeared, including their rank, functions and responsibilities. Since this information is of vital importance for advancing judicial investigations and the investigations of the Public Prosecution Service, as well as for making it possible to identify and to
