reality, it made no major effort; there were no campaigns, nothing similar to efforts that have been made with the refugees in Mexico; this was never done” and that those efforts began, above all, in the 1990s.132 82. That said, the Court notes that the victims fled from the village at the time of the massacre; that is, before Guatemala had accepted the Court’s temporal jurisdiction. The Court also notes that some victims did return to the village several months after the events,133 and this also occurred prior to the Court’s jurisdiction ratione temporis. This is particularly relevant for the analysis of these specific alleged violations because the Court, as indicated above, has temporal jurisdiction over the violations that continued or took place after March 9, 1987, the date on which Guatemala accepted its contentious jurisdiction. Therefore, the Court must determine which of the victims remained unable to return to Los Josefinos and, consequently, in a situation of forced displacement after that date. Based on the arguments of the Commission and of the representatives, as well as the evidence in the case file before the Court, this Court notes that it has been proved that at least 7 people, together with their family units, were unable to return to Los Josefinos prior to March 9, 1987. Thus, María Fidelia Quevedo confirmed this when she recounted how, following the massacre, she fled with her children134 and ended by displacing to the department of Guatemala, where she still lives. 135 Similarly, Antonio Ajanel Ortiz mentioned that he remained in Mexico for 18 years and, even though he returned to Guatemala in 2000 following the signature of the Peace Accords, he has never returned to live in Los Josefinos.136 He underlined that he returned in 2000 because an acquaintance told him that “things are quieter now.”137 Also, the victims, Alba Maritza López Mejía,138 Elidea Hernández Rodríguez,139 Sotero Chávez,140 Juana Leonidas García Castellanos141 and Zoila Reyes Pineda 142 testified that neither they nor their family members had returned to the village and they continue to live away from it today. 83. Based on the above, the Court concludes that, at March 9, 1987, the Guatemalan State continued to be in non-compliance with its obligation to create the conditions for the return or voluntary resettlement of those forcibly displaced from Los Josefinos, and this obliged them to continue living in another part of the country or abroad. Consequently, in light of the evidence provided to this Court, it concludes that the State is responsible for the violation of the right to freedom of movement and residence protected by Article 22 of the American Convention, in conjunction with failure to comply with the obligations contained in Article 1(1) of this instrument, to the detriment of María Fidelia Quevedo, Antonio Ajanel Ortiz, Alba Maritza López Mejía, Elidea Hernández Rodríguez, Sotero Chávez, Juana Leonidas García Castellanos, Zoila Reyes Pineda and 132 Cf.
