stated that it would keep the investigation open and would continue conducting the investigation diligently until it had identified and individualized those responsible for the murder. 229. The Court appreciates the State’s declaration that it would “keep the investigation open and would continue conducting the investigation diligently until it had identified and individualized those responsible for the murder.” However, bearing in mind the conclusions of Chapter VII.II of this judgment, the Court establishes that, the State must, within a reasonable time, conduct the investigation effectively and, when applicable, open the required criminal proceedings to identify, prosecute and punish, as appropriate, those responsible for the abuse and murder of Claudina Isabel Velásquez Paiz, in keeping with the guidelines in this judgment, in order to avoid the repetition of the same or similar acts to those of this case. This investigation must include a gender perspective, undertake specific lines of investigation concerning sexual violence, and provide the victim’s next of kin with information on progress in the investigation pursuant to domestic law and, when applicable, ensure that they have appropriate participation in the criminal proceedings. Also, the investigation must be conducted by officials trained in similar cases and in dealing with victims of gender-based discrimination and violence. Lastly, it must ensure that those in charge of the investigation and the criminal proceedings, as well as any other persons involved, such as witnesses, expert witnesses, or members of the victim’s family, have adequate guarantees for their safety. 230. Furthermore, as it has on other occasions, 323 the Court establishes that, based on the pertinent disciplinary norms, the State must examine the possible procedural and investigative irregularities related to this case and, if appropriate, sanction the conduct of the corresponding public servants without the victims in this case having to file complaints to this end. C. Measures of rehabilitation and satisfaction, and guarantees of non-repetition C.1. Rehabilitation 231. The Commission did not present any specific arguments on this point. 232. The representatives asked the Court to order the State to provide medical and psychological care to Jorge Rolando Velásquez Durán, Elsa Claudina Paiz Vidal and Pablo Andrés Velásquez Paiz, for as long as necessary. This care must include the costs of any medication they require. The medical center providing this physical and psychological care must be chosen by mutual agreement with them and must take into account the particular circumstances and needs of each of them. 233. The State indicated that, if it had been requested, it would have provided psychological and medical care to the next of kin of the presumed victim in this case. However, they had never indicated that they required psychological support for any member of the family group under the State’s programs and institutions. It also indicated that it had not been proved that any member of the family group had suffered physical or psychological harm as a result of the facts of this case. Consequently, it did not consider that it was fair or equitable that the requested medical expenses be charged to the national budget. Lastly, it indicated that, if the next of kin of Claudina Velásquez attended private doctors and health clinics, it was at their own choice, because the State had a public health system that could have provided them with the services required free of cost.
