43 b. to develop the possibilities of judicial remedy; and c. to ensure that the competent authorities shall enforce such remedies when granted. 136. Furthermore, Articles 1, 6 and 8 of the Inter-American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture provide: Article 1 The State Parties undertake to prevent and punish torture in accordance with the terms of this Convention. Article 6 In accordance with the terms of Article 1, the States Parties shall take effective measures to prevent and punish torture within their jurisdiction. The States Parties shall ensure that all acts of torture and attempts to commit torture are offenses under their criminal law and shall make such acts punishable by severe penalties that take into account their serious nature. The States Parties likewise shall take effective measures to prevent and punish other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment within their jurisdiction. Article 8 The States Parties shall guarantee that any person making an accusation of having been subjected to torture within their jurisdiction shall have the right to an impartial examination of his case. Likewise, if there is an accusation or well-grounded reason to believe that an act of torture has been committed within their jurisdiction, the States Parties shall guarantee that their respective authorities will proceed properly and immediately to conduct an investigation into the case and to initiate, whenever appropriate, the corresponding criminal process. After all the domestic legal procedures of the respective State and the corresponding appeals have been exhausted, the case may be submitted to the international fora whose competence has been recognized by that State. 137. In the present case, the relatives of Mr. Bernabé Baldeón-García have unsuccessfully exercised their right to fair trial in Peru, by repeatedly resorting to the competent judicial authorities to denounce the events involved in this case (supra para. 72(23) to 72(37)). Based on these facts, the Commission and the representatives alleged the violation of Articles 8 (Fair Trial) and 25 (Judicial Protection) of the Convention, to the detriment of Guadalupe Yllaconza-Ramírez, Crispín, Fidela, Roberto, Segundina, Miguelita, Perseveranda, Vicente and Sabina; all of them members of the Baldeón-Yllaconza family. In view of the above, it is necessary to examine the proceedings initiated locally to establish the facts and identify the individuals responsible for the arrest, death and torture of the victim, and to provide an appropriate compensation. The aforementioned examination must be carried out in accordance with the provisions of Article 25 of the American Convention and the procedural requirements set forth in Article 8 of the Convention regarding the victim´s next of kin. 138. This Tribunal has decided to accept the State’s partial acknowledgement of international responsibility regarding the violation of Article 8(1) (Fair Trial) of the American Convention to the detriment of Guadalupe Yllaconza-Ramírez de Baldeón and Crispín, Fidela, Roberto, Segundina, Miguelita, Perseveranda, Vicente and Sabina, all of them members of the Baldeón-Yllaconza family, next of kin of Mr. Bernabé Baldeón-García. Said acknowledgment only covers those violations committed “from the date of the occurrence of such events until the commencement of the transition to democracy” (supra para. 47).
