access and the capacity to act by the victims during all stages of the investigations, pursuant to domestic law and to the provisions of the American Convention. 95 129. Finally, the Court notes that the Public Prosecution Service reopened its investigation for the possible commission of the crimes of torture, illegal deprivation of liberty and extrajudicial execution, in keeping with the conclusions of the final report of the Truth Commission. The Court also reiterates its settled case law regarding the non-applicability of legal concepts such as the statute of limitations in cases of serious human rights violations, as they are contrary to the provisions of the American Convention on Human Rights. C. Measures of rehabilitation requested 130. The Commission asked that the necessary physical and mental health care measures be provided for the members of Joffre Aroca’s family, which should be implemented “if the victims so wish and as agreed with them and their representatives.” 131. The State maintained that the Ministry of Public Health, through the National Undersecretariat for the Promotion of Health and Equality, had provided details of the various actions undertaken with the members of Mr. Aroca Palma’s family, “to protect their health.” This was confirmed by the victim’s siblings, who, during the working meeting held with public officials in 2020 to establish the mechanisms for complying with the Commission’s recommendations, said “they are in direct contact” with the health authorities. 132. The Court views positively Ecuador’s efforts to comply in a timely manner with the recommendations of the Inter-American Commission. Therefore, bearing in mind the victims’ wishes in this matter and given the violations declared in this judgment, the Court orders the State to provide, or to continue providing, psychological and/or psychiatric treatment to Cynthia Aroca Palma, Ronald Aroca Palma, Amalia Melgar Solórzano and Amalia Antonieta Aroca Melgar. Treatment shall be provided free of charge and as a matter of priority, and should include the provision of any necessary medications and, where appropriate, transportation and other directly related and necessary expenses. In addition, the treatments shall be provided, to the extent possible, at locations that are closest to their places of residence and for the length of time necessary. In the provision of treatments, the particular circumstances and needs of each victim shall be taken into consideration, as well as the desires of the victim and the findings of an initial evaluation. 96 133. The beneficiaries have a period of six months from the notification of this judgment to inform the State of their intention to receive psychological and/or psychiatric treatment. 97 The State shall then have a maximum of six months from the receipt of the request to provide the treatment requested in an effective manner. D. Measures of satisfaction requested 134. The Commission asked the Court to order measures of satisfaction “duly agreed with the members of [Mr. Aroca Palma’s] family.” Cf.
