Arguments of the State
279. The State has not submitted any arguments as regards other forms of
reparation.
Considerations of the Court
a) Medical and psychological treatment for Wilson García-Asto
280. Upon the analysis of the arguments filed by the representatives, and the
evidence produced in the instant case, it is established that the physical and
psychological ailments of Wilson García-Asto extend to date (supra para. 97(61)).
Therefore, the Court considers, as it has stated on several other occasions,197 that the
reparations must also include psychological and medical treatment for the victim. In
this sense, the Court deems that the State must provide medical and psychological
assistance to Wilson García-Asto through its health services, including the delivery of
medicines without any cost to the victim.
b) Professional updating of Wilson García-Asto and Urcesino Ramírez-Rojas
281. The Court considers that the State must offer Wilson García-Asto the possibility
to receive professional and updating training by granting him a scholarship that may
allow him to complete his studies, as well as to receive professional training for the
two years subsequent to his university graduation. Likewise, the State should offer
Urcesino Ramírez-Rojas the possibility to receive professional and updating training by
granting him a scholarship that may allow him to receive the professional updating
training that he may choose for a term of two years.
