Rehabilitation
Arguments of the parties
461. The representatives asked this Court to order the State to guarantee free, ongoing
medical and psychological care for the family members of the victims. The representatives
specifically asked that these services be provided by qualified professionals, after the medical
needs of each victim had been determined, and should include the provision of any needed
medications, always ensuring that the victims participate fully in the process. They also asked
the Court to order the State to cover other expenditures that may arise along with the provision
of treatment, such as costs of transportation or other related needs.
462. The State asked the Court, as a preliminary step, to rule on the State’s preliminary
objections, and pointed out that the purpose of the Sistema Integral de Salud (SIS),
Comprehensive Healthcare System, is to protect the health of Peruvian citizens who do not
have health insurance, with top priority on vulnerable populations in poverty and extreme
poverty, so they may have medical and psychological care. The State added in its final written
arguments that it rejected each and every one of the representatives’ claims for reparations.
Considerations of the Court
463. The Court, having granted that the personal integrity of Edgar Odón Cruz Acuña had
been abridged (supra paras. 449 and 450), finds, as it has in other cases, 498 that he requires
a measure of reparation providing appropriate care for physical and psychological impairment
derived from the violations established in this judgment. The Court therefore orders the State,
as an obligation for which it is responsible, to provide, free of charge and through its specialized
healthcare facilities, immediate, appropriate, effective psychological and/or psychiatric
treatment, if so requested, with prior informed consent, including the provision free of charge
of any medications that may be needed in consideration of health problems associated with
the facts of the instant case. Moreover, this treatment must be provided, as much s possible,
in the facility nearest to his place of residence in Peru for as long as necessary. Mr. Cruz Acuña
or his legal representatives have six months from the date of notification of this judgment to
inform the State of his intention to receive psychological or psychiatric care.
C.2.
Satisfaction: publication of the judgment

464. The representatives asked the Court to order the State to proceed within six months
to publish at least the sections on the context, proven facts, and operative paragraphs of the
judgment in the official gazette, in a widely circulated national newspaper, and on the website
