In this respect, taking into account the arguments presented by the representatives and the Commission (supra fourteenth and fifteenth considering paragraphs), in view of the fact that the former expressed their agreement with the manner in which the public acts took place, this Court considers that the State has complied with what was ordered in the fourteenth operative paragraph of the judgment, as to the organization of the two public acts and the presentation of the respective documentary video on the facts of the Massacre of Las Dos Erres community in one of the acts. 17. Moreover, the Court notes that it is still pending the obligation to show the video before mentioned “in a department of the western area in which grave human rights violations occurred during the internal armed conflict”7.
