not inform their intention to receive such care within the established period, the State is
excused from providing it.
D. Measures of satisfaction
230. The Commission considered that the State should “adequately repair the
victims” in the “moral […] aspect.”
231. The representative requested that the Court order that the State publish the
judgment in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Uruguay.” It also asked that Uruguay
“hold an act of apology and recognition of the actions of the State,” which is to be done
jointly with the delivery of information on the whereabouts of the disappeared persons.
232. The State noted that, in March 2012, in compliance with the Court’s decision in
the Gelman case, it held a public act of recognition of responsibility and that on the day
of the act a plaque was placed in the building that was the headquarters of the Ministry
of Defense’s Intelligence Service during the dictatorship in homage to “the victims who
were clandestinely detained there.” It added that, since December 9, 2016, the building
houses the National Institute of Human Rights and is “the first site of recovered memory
in Uruguay.” It also pointed out that Law 19,641, of July 13, 2018, “declared and created
sites of Historical Memory of the Recent Past.”253 It also indicated the “existence of the
Memorial of Remembering the Detained-Disappeared, also known as the Memorial of the
Disappeared, located in the Parque Carlos Vaz Ferreira in the Cerro de Montevideo,”
inaugurated on December 10, 2001, and declared a National Historical Monument in
2014. The State also underscored that the Truth and Justice Working Group and the
Secretariat of Human Rights for the Recent Past published a “Guide of places of memory
of the recent past of Uruguay,” which directly refers to the alleged victims of this case.254
It also provided information about the placing of plaques in the school where Mr.
González González studied and the location where Ms. Maidanik, Ms. Reyes and Ms.
Raggio were extrajudicially executed.255
