information on this measure, the Tribunal requests that the State report on any
progress made and steps that must be taken to achieve compliance.
19. With regard to the other beneficiaries, the Tribunal notes that for the State to
comply with this obligation it involves, in part, those who want to use this
reparation measure taking certain actions geared towards exercising their right to
said measure. In this regard, the Court observes that the representatives indicated
that they would eventually inform the State of their decision to use this reparation
measure. The Tribunal stresses the importance of advancing with the coordination
between the State and the representatives to comply with this obligation and
requests that the State and the representatives continue reporting on efforts made
and results obtained.
c) Obligation to publish the relevant parts of the Judgment
20. With regard to the obligation to publish relevant parts of the Judgment in the
Official Gazette and another widely-circulated national newspaper (tenth operative
paragraph of the Judgment), the State asked the Court rule on the possibility of
including “a link to the judgments of the Inter-American Court […] on the web
pages of the main nationally circulated newspapers”. Likewise, it reported that on
April 26, 2010, “the paragraphs […] provided for in the Judgment […] were
published in the newspaper EXPRESO S.A., leaving the publication in the Official
Gazette pending, which it [...] will report on soon.”
21. The representatives indicated that the State has not complied with the obligation to
publish the Judgment. With regard to the request by the State concerning the
possibility of including a link to the Court's judgments on the web pages of the
main national newspapers, they indicated that the State “must comply with the
order of the Judgment.”
22. The Commission reiterated that the State did not report on the publication of the
Judgment in the Official Gazette. Furthermore, it indicated that the State must
comply with the Court's order in accordance with the Judgment, regardless of
additional ways that the State proposes.
23. The Tribunal notes that although the State submitted a copy of a letter send to the
newspaper Expreso requesting the aforementioned publication, as well as a copy of
the relevant paragraphs that the Tribunal ordered to be published, the information
did not make it possible to determine actual compliance with the Court order.
Furthermore, the representatives also pointed to the lack of compliance with this
point. In addition, the Tribunal reiterates that the publication of the Judgment in
the Official Gazette is still pending. As of result, the Court requests that the State
provide information on the status of compliance with this reparation measure,
including a copy of the publication made in the Expreso Newspaper on April 26,
2010 and a copy of the publication to be made in the Official Gazette.
24. Furthermore, with regard to the State’s proposal to place links on the web pages of
the main nationally circulated newspapers, the Tribunal observes that the State
reported that the print publication in a nationally circulated newspaper, which was
ordered in the judgment, has already been carried out. It requests, therefore, that
