75 Arguments of the representatives 123. The representatives requested the Court to order the State: a) To conduct an effective investigation into the facts so as to identify those responsible, both the perpetrators and the masterminds, and also possible accessories and those responsible for obstructing justice, in order to punish them administratively or criminally, as applicable. This should be done immediately to avoid legal prescriptions; b) To appoint another prosecutor to take charge of the investigation, since the thirteenth prosecutor left the investigation paralyzed; c) To clarify certain areas of domestic legislation so as to enable the State to better comply with its international obligations, because the doctrine used in this case to disqualify many of the testimonies was absurd; d) To guarantee to the victims’ next of kin full access and capacity to act at all stages and in all instances of the investigations; e) To publicize the results of the investigations so that, not only the next of kin, but all of Guatemalan society, know the truth; f) To acknowledge, in a public act, the human rights violations committed in this case, to pay tribute to the memory of Jorge Carpio Nicolle and the members of his delegation, and to apologize to their next of kin for their execution and also for the intentional obstruction of justice; g) To publish the judgment three times in the official gazette and in three newspapers with the highest circulation, with one month between each publication.
