27 the State’s responsibility and its impact on the enjoyment of human rights by the alleged victims in the instant case. 111 103. It should also be mentioned that, with regard to the identification of the victims, the Commission notes that in the instant case there coexist a series of circumstances that pose serious difficulties for the identification of the next of kin of the alleged victims, of the persons whose property was looted and/or destroyed, and of those persons who moved away from the village of Santo Domingo. As regards to the next of kin of the alleged victims and the persons who were displaced, in keeping with its analysis below, the Commission considers proven that the terror caused by the bombardment drove all of the villagers to abandon the village of Santo Domingo and set off for Betoyes and the cities of Tame and Saravena. Furthermore, the inspections carried out in the framework of the investigations revealed irregularities in 70% of the homes in the village of Santo Domingo. 112 However, they were not thoroughly documented. The Commission believes that given the above, it is necessary to adopt flexible criteria in the identification of the victims in the instant case. 104. Finally, based on all the evidence contained in the record, the Commission has reached the conclusion that the families of the victims, the persons who were displaced from the village of Santo Domingo, and those whose property was looted and/or destroyed could exceed the number of persons identified thus far and considered victims in the present report. In light of the foregoing, and as is mentioned in the recommendations, it is incumbent upon the State to establish a collective reparation mechanism that recognizes the impact that the bombardment had on the civilian population of the village of Santo Domingo which was forced by the events to abandon the village.
