9 criminal offenses that this case involves as a “positive development”, they pointed out that “two [of those indicted] petitioned the Ninth District Criminal Court Judge to declare the criminal case being prosecuted against them statute-barred, because more than five years had passed since the case started and it had not been concluded within the legal time period […] established in the code of criminal procedure. [...] A court order time barring the criminal action would be a serious obstacle to criminal prosecution of the responsible parties, because it would nullify all the progress made thus far”; d) they repeated that the State “has satisfactorily complied with the order to publish the January 26, 2000 Judgment on merits in the Official Gazette” (supra Having Seen 3(a); e) concerning compliance with the obligation to adopt, “in accordance with Article 2 of the Convention, […] those measures for the protection of human rights that ensure the free and full exercise of the rights to life, freedom and humane treatment, and to a fair trial and judicial protection, in order to avoid future harmful acts such as those of this case”, they express their appreciation of “the efforts and willingness of the government to implement a broad human rights training program in the Armed Forces [and] the adoption of the directive that introduces the Permanent Plan to Instill Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law in the Armed Forces and the corresponding Plan of Action.

The record of the Santa Cruz City Council to the effect that the mother of the victim authorized a council member to receive the municipal ordinance naming an educational unit after her son José Carlos Trujillo Oroza is not correct. This measure of reparation will only be complied with when the public ceremony is held, with the victim’s relatives present; until then, compliance has not happened”; g) concerning the payment of the compensation for non pecuniary and pecuniary damages ordered for the victim’s mother and siblings, the representatives reiterated that “the State has satisfactorily complied with this
