RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the foregoing conclusions,
THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS, RECOMMENDS THAT THE
VENEZUELAN STATE,
1.
Conduct a complete, impartial, effective, and timely investigation of the human rights
violations described in this report, in order to establish and impose punishment for the intellectual and
material responsibility for the facts described.
2.
These investigations must be conducted in such a way as to establish the links between
each of the events covered in this report, as well as between those events and the more general context
of violence and extrajudicial executions committed by the regional police.
3.
Provide appropriate administrative, disciplinary, and criminal measures to address the
actions and omissions of the State officials who contributed to justice denied and impunity surrounding
the facts in this case.
4.
Make adequate reparations for the human rights violations related in this report in both
material and moral terms.
5.
Provide mechanisms to prevent repetition, including: i) training programs on international
human rights standards in general, and with respect to children and adolescents, directed to the Aragua
State Police; ii) measures to ensure effective accountability in the criminal, disciplinary, and administrative
sphere, in cases of alleged abuse of power by State agents responsible for public security; and iii)
legislative, administrative, and other types of measures for investigating with due diligence and in
accordance with relevant international standards the need for and proportionality of the lethal use of force
by police officers, to ensure the existence of effective protocols so that adequate control and
accountability mechanisms can be implemented in response to the actions of such officers.
