The Commission has designated Commissioner José de Jesús Orozco Henríquez and the
Executive Secretary of the IACHR, Emilio Álvarez Icaza, as its delegates. Elizabeth Abi-Mershed, Assistant
Executive Secretary; Silvia Serrano Guzmán, and Nerea Aparicio will serve as legal advisors.
In keeping with Article 35 of the Rules of Procedure of the Inter-American Court, the
Commission encloses a copy of Report on Admissibility and Merits No. 77/11 and its annexes, prepared
in accordance with Article 50 of the Convention, together with a copy of the complete record of the case
before the Inter-American Commission (Appendix I) and the documents used in the preparation of the
above report (Annexes). The State was informed of the report by means of a note dated August 8, 2011.
In a communication dated October 7, 2011, the State of Peru requested the IACHR to grant it an
extension of two months to implement the recommendations adopted by the Commission. On
November 8, 2011, the Commission decided to grant the two-month extension requested by the State.
The Commission has since granted six additional extensions to the State. The Commission also held a
working meeting with the parties at its 147th regular session. On June 19, 2013, the State of Peru
requested another extension to enable it to implement the recommendations. The Inter-American
commission decided not to grant the extension but to submit the case to the Inter-American Court for
lack of meaningful progress on the recommendations.
As to the recommendation to provide adequate reparation for the human rights violations
found in the report in material and moral respects, elucidation and circulation of the historical truth of
the events, remembrance of the disappeared victims, and implementation of an adequate program of
psychosocial care for the next-of-kin of the disappeared victims, the State has informed the
Commission that it is implementing that recommendation under the Comprehensive Reparations Plan
(PIR for the Spanish) and the Consolidated Victims Register (RUV for the Spanish), which includes 15 of
the 28 victims. The State added that two of the victims are not listed in the register and that the
authorities are looking into that situation. It also mentioned that the Community of Santa Barbara has
been recognized as a collective victim and, in that regard, benefited in 2007 from the award of an
amount of money for the execution of a “large livestock module” project. However, the State has
offered no concrete information about reparation measures ordered in favor of the individuals inscribed
in the RUV, or specified precisely what measures have been adopted with regard to the other two
victims. According to the information available, the victim's next of kin have not yet received the
reparations recommended by the IACHR based on the criteria established in the report.
As to the recommendation to establish a mechanism that, to the extent possible, enables
complete identification of the disappeared victims and the return of the mortal remains of those
victims to their families, the state initially informed that budgetary constraints were hampering
progress with the DNA tests. Later, it said that a number of victims had been identified. In its last report
the State mentioned that it had taken certain budgetary measures to enable the process to continue.
However, as yet, no concrete measures have been initiated toward the identification of all of the
victims.
Regarding the recommendation to carry out and conclude, as appropriate, the domestic
proceedings connected with the human rights violations found ... in order to completely clarify the
events, identify the architects and material authors, and impose the appropriate penalties, the State
submitted information on number of processes connected with the facts in the case. The information
available does not suggest that meaningful progress has been made in the processes of identification
and punishment of those who perpetrated and planned crimes. The judgments that have been issued do
not cover all the suspected perpetrators, neither are they final.
