139.
In light of the foregoing conclusions,
THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS,
RECOMMENDS THAT THE STATE OF GUATEMALA:
1.
Provide full reparation for the human rights violations found in the instant report, including
both material and moral dimensions.
2.
Carry out and complete an independent, impartial, thorough, effective and expeditious
investigation of the complaints lodged by Mrs. María Eugenia Villaseñor. That investigation must explore and
exhaustively pursue the logical investigative threads derived from her work as a judge and identify and,
where applicable, punish all those who participated in the facts.
3.
Impose appropriate administrative, disciplinary or criminal penalties for the acts or
omissions of state officials that contributed to the denial of justice and impunity regarding the facts in the
case.
4.
Implement measures to prevent repetition of the violations and ensure that investigations of
complaints by judges and possible protective measures to be implemented on their behalf meet the standards
established in this report.
