uncertainty before society and the State. 100 106. In this case, Mr. Torres Millacura was placed in a situation of juridical uncertainty that quashed his opportunity to be a bearer of rights or exercise those rights effectively in general, this constituting one of the most serious forms of State noncompliance with the obligation to respect and guarantee human rights. 101 This translated into a violation of this individual’s right to recognition of juridical personality established in Article 3 of the American Convention. 107. Therefore, given the foregoing, the Court finds that the State violated the rights recognized in Articles 3, 4(1), 5(1), 5(2) and 7(1), and 7(3) of the American Convention, in relation to Articles 1(1) and 2 thereof, all in relation to the obligations established in Articles I.a) 102 , II 103 and XI 104 of the Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappearance of Persons, to the detriment of Mr. Iván Eladio Torres Millacura. B.4. Final Considerations. 108. Therefore, the Tribunal concludes that Argentina incurred international responsibility for the detentions of Mr. Iván Eladio Torres Millacura carried out on September 26, 2003, in “September” of that year, and on October 2, 2003, after which he was forcibly disappeared, in violation of the rights recognized in Articles 3, 4(1), 5(1), 5(2), 7(1), 7(2), and 7(3) of the American Convention, in relation to Articles 1(1) and 2 of the Convention, to the detriment of Iván Eladio Torres Millacura. Likewise, the Court finds that these facts also comprise international State responsibility for failure to comply with the obligations established in Articles I.a) and XI of the Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappearance of Persons.

Guatemala, supra note 69, para. 102, and Case of Ibsen Cárdenas and Ibsen Peña V. Bolivia, supra note 14, para. 102. 102 This Article states that: The States Parties to this Convention undertake: a) Not to practice, permit, or tolerate the forced disappearance of persons, even in states of emergency or suspension of individual guarantees; […] 103 This provision establishes that: For the purposes of this Convention, forced disappearance is considered to be the act of depriving a person or persons of his or their freedom, in whatever way, perpetrated by agents of the state or by persons or groups of persons acting with the authorization, support, or acquiescence of the state, followed by an absence of information or a refusal to acknowledge that deprivation of freedom or to give information on the whereabouts of that person, thereby impeding his or her recourse to the applicable legal remedies and procedural guarantees. 104 This Article notes that: Every person deprived of liberty shall be held in an officially recognized place of detention and be brought before a competent judicial authority without delay, in accordance with applicable domestic law. The States Parties shall establish and maintain official up-to-date registries of their detainees and, in accordance with their domestic law, shall make them available to relatives, judges, attorneys, any other person having a legitimate interest, and other authorities. 33
