6 relates primarily to the damages sustained which, as this Court has ruled on previous occasions, cover both material and moral damage (Aloeboetoe et al. Case, Reparations, supra 15, paras. 47 and 49; El Amparo Case, Reparations, supra 15, para. 15 and Neira Alegría et al. Case, Reparations, supra 15, para. 38). VI 18. In its communication of May 10, 1996, the Commission requested that the Court order the State to adjust Colombian law to the norms of the Convention, "so that acts such as those committed against the persons of Isidro Caballero-Delgado and María del Carmen Santana should never recur in future," and to amend Colombia's laws governing the remedy of habeas corpus, since, in its opinion, one cannot ignore the fact that the absence of an effective remedy of habeas corpus provided for and regulated by the Convention and the Court's jurisprudence, and the lack of codification of the crime of forced disappearance of persons in the country's domestic law facilitated the commission of the crime of forced disappearance of Isidro Caballero-Delgado and María del Carmen Santana. 19. In that connection, the Government stated in its brief of July 26, 1996, that, as the Court had ruled in its Judgment of December 8, 1995, Colombia's internal norms suffice to guarantee enjoyment of the rights protected by the Convention; that Colombia's legislation on habeas corpus is in harmony with the provisions of the Convention, and that it is classified as being of "immediate application ... so that its application would not even require any change in the law." It further stated that it was making the necessary arrangements for submitting an adoption by Congress the texts of the Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappearance of Persons and a law codifying the crime of forced disappearance. VII 20. The Commission, in its brief of May 10, 1996, requested that the Court order the State to prosecute those responsible for the disappearance of Isidro Caballero-Delgado and María del Carmen Santana. It further requested that the Court determine that the judicial proceeding for identification and punishment of the perpetrators and authors of the disappearance and possible execution of Isidro Caballero-Delgado and María del Carmen Santana-Ortiz should be carried out by the civil courts ... in accordance with the requirements of impartiality and independence established in Article 8(1) of the Convention. 21. The Commission also requested the Court to order in its Judgment on reparations that the Government take the necessary measures to localize the bodies of Mr. CaballeroDelgado and Ms. Santana and to allow Isidro Caballero-Delgado's name to be "duly and lawfully recovered by his comrades"; that the Colombian State accord special attention and "reasonable" economic support to "Isidro Caballero-Delgado" departmental college, and develop a program for promotion and dissemination of human rights "designed for the various strata of society." Under that heading, the Commission also sought the State's public acknowledgement of its responsibility and its public apology to the victims' relatives and to Colombian society as a whole, "accompanied by the declaration that such acts should never again occur." 22. In its reply, the Government affirmed that the Office of the Prosecutor of the Nation was investigating the matter with a view to punishing those responsible for the violations
