Mental and psychological treatment
171. The representatives requested the Court “to order the adoption […] the necessary
and urgent measures to provide high level medical and mental treatment, and for the
necessary time, to the [victim's] relatives," inasmuch as "despite the passage of time, their
emotional state, mental health, mental integrity and general health condition are still
affected." Moreover, the State confirmed that "it will be able to provide those services [to
the family of Germán Escué Zapata] as long as the medical services do not affect the vision
that the indigenous people have regarding the effects of ancestral medicines."
172. The Court considers, as in other cases,140 that it is necessary to provide for a
measure of reparation seeking to relieve the bodily and psychological suffering of the
victim’s relatives. To that end, the Court orders the State to provide the above-mentioned
individuals, with their prior consent and for the necessary period of time from the date the
notice of this Judgment is served upon them, free of charge, with any necessary medical,
psychiatric and psychological treatment which shall comprise provision of medicines. The
treatment must be provided taking into account the specific conditions and needs of each
individual, specially their customs and traditions in order to provide the corresponding
appropriate treatment.

people “so that every member of the community can have access to the information.”
Furthermore, the State took the responsibility of “publishing the [J]udgment as a measure
of satisfaction for the victim's relatives and as a guarantee of non-repetition of such facts"
and to publish it "in the language used by the Paez."
174. As ordered in other cases,141 and as a measure of satisfaction, the State shall publish
at least once in the Official Gazette and in another national daily newspaper, the paragraphs
1, 5, 11 to 13, 20, 34 to 39, 41, 69, 70, 72, 78, 80, 86, 96 and 111 of the present
