elucidated promptly and for those responsible to be punished.
case was one of those chosen;
The instant
n)
a bill is now being discussed regarding public policy in the struggle
against impunity for violations of human rights and international humanitarian
law;
o)
the State is considering the appointment of a high commissioner for
victims to coordinate and implement a comprehensive policy on reparations.
It is also considering a plan to ensure representation of the victims in the
criminal and administrative-law proceedings; to identify and remove obstacles
that up to now have made said representation difficult; to further a plan to
seek friendly settlements; to establish a trust fund for reparations to the
victims in terms that are sufficient, effective, prompt, and proportional to the
gravity of the violation and the type of injury suffered;
p)
the State highlights the policy of dialogue with the main groups
outside the Law, as well as constant reduction of violence indicators.
Democratic security does not deny the possibility of dialogue with illegal
armed groups. In this regard, there is an ongoing dialogue process with the
self-defense groups that began under the previous government, but
subjecting them to conditions imposed by the current government, such as a
cease-fire; and
q)
the State rejects the other parties’ considerations regarding the
current peace process, as it is not a matter addressed by the American
Convention, for which reason it cannot be subject to a ruling in a specific
case. The administrative decision that formally begins a peace process has
two main effects: it suspends the arrest warrants against representative
members of the illegal armed groups, and it enables areas to be defined for
relocation of those in arms, with a territorial effect on the arrest warrants,
which are only suspended in that area, setting aside the status of members
representing the men located there. The process of individual and collective
demobilization is moving forward very successfully, expressing the spirit of
and will for reconciliation and sustainability of the peace process. The country
has understood that this public policy is a feasible, flexible, and rapid option
for citizen reinsertion, resocialization and reconstruction. The State
understands that there is no possibility of granting any type of legal benefits
to persons who are being investigated for or have been convicted of atrocious
crimes.
Considerations of the Court
294. In this section, the Court will order measures of satisfaction to redress nonmaterial damages, those that are non-pecuniary, as well as measures that are public
in their scope or repercussions.290 These measures are especially significant in the
instant case due to the extreme gravity of the facts.
