Publication of the relevant parts of the present Judgment 349. The representatives requested the publication of the judgment “[s]o that the general population be informed of the judgment issued by [the] Court and its scope.” In this regard, the State indicated that if appropriate, this measure would be subject to that ordered by the Court. 350. As stated by this Tribunal in other cases,323 the State shall publish in the Official Gazette of the Federation and in another newspaper of ample national circulation, for a single time, paragraphs 1 through 7, 52 through 66, 114 through 358 of the present Judgment, without the footnotes, and its operative paragraphs.

For the publications in the newspapers and on the Internet the terms of six and two months, respectively, computed as of the notification of the present Judgment, are set. C5. Public act of acknowledgment of international responsibility 351. The representatives requested that the Court order the State to hold a public act of acknowledgment of international responsibility for the facts of the present case through the head of State. In this regard, the State indicated that “[i]n consultation with the next of kin of the victim, it would hold an act of acknowledgment of […] responsibility with regard to the violations determined [by the Court].” Likewise, it indicated that it would offer an apology to the next of kin of the victim. 352. The Court values positively the offering made by the State regarding this form of reparation, given the importance and positive effects this modality of reparations has for the victims of violations of human rights. On previous occasions, the Court has valued favorably those acts that seek to recover the memory of the victims, the acknowledgment of their dignity, and the consolation of their relatives.325 353. Taking into account the aforementioned, this Tribunal considers it necessary that the State hold a public act of acknowledgment of responsibility with regard to the facts of the present case and in satisfaction of the memory of Rosendo Radilla-Pacheco. Reference shall be made, in that act, to the violations of human rights declared in the present Judgment. Likewise, it shall be carried out through a public ceremony in the presence of high national authorities and the next of kin of Mr. Radilla-Pacheco. The State and the next of kin of Mr. Radilla-Pacheco and/or their representatives, shall agree on the modality of compliance with the public act of acknowledgment, as well as the specific aspects required, such as the place and date on which it will be held. 323 Cf.
