238. The Commission did not present any specific arguments on this point. The representatives asked the Court to order the State to organize a public act to acknowledge international responsibility for the facts of this case and to hold it within one year of notification of the judgment. The implementation of this public ceremony and other details should be previously and duly consulted with the next of kin of Claudina Velásquez, and senior representatives of the Guatemalan Judiciary must take part in it. 239. The State indicated that, since it did not acknowledge its international responsibility for the facts of the case, it did not accept that a public act was required in that regard. 240. The Court finds that the State must organize an act of public apology with regard to the facts of this case that occurred to Claudina Isabel Velásquez Paiz and their subsequent investigation. During this act, the State must refer to the human rights violations declared in this judgment. The act must be held by means of a widely publicized public ceremony. The State must ensure the participation of Jorge Rolando Velásquez Durán, Elsa Claudina Paiz Vidal and Pablo Andrés Velásquez Paiz, if they so wish, and invite to the event the organizations that represented Claudina Isabel Velásquez Paiz’s family members before the national and international courts. The organization and other details of this public ceremony must be previously and duly consulted with the said family members. The State authorities present or taking part in this act must be senior State officials. It will be for the State to define who it entrusts with this task. The State has one year from notification of this judgment to comply with this obligation. C.2.3. Request for funds to create the “Claudina Isabel Velásquez Paiz - Guatemala” Foundation 241. The Commission did not present any specific arguments on this point. The representatives asked that, as a measure of satisfaction and dignification of Claudina Velásquez, the Court require the State to provide a sum of money to her family to allow them to create the “Claudina Isabel Velásquez Paiz – Guatemala” Foundation, which would establish support mechanism for vulnerable populations, programs for the education and training of young students in Guatemala, and for divulgation of women’s rights, including programs using the internet. The amount that the State was required to pay for this concept should be determined by the Court, based on equity. The State opposed this and reiterated that it had not incurred responsibility with regard to the life of Claudina Velásquez, so that it would not be appropriate for the Court to establish measures of reparation “implicitly linked to this right.” 242. In view of the other measures of reparation ordered in this judgment, the Court does not find it necessary to order this additional measure. C.3. Guarantees of non-repetition 243. The State reiterated that it was not responsible for any of the alleged violations and, consequently, it was not required to make reparation to the presumed victims. It noted that most of the reparations claimed were focused on the prevention, punishment and eradication of violence against women. In this regard, it affirmed that, in this case, it had not been proved that the incident had been motivated by the victim’s gender, and that not all crimes against women were due to the victims being women. It clarified that it had already taken prevention and punishment measures with the main purpose of eradicating violence against women. Nevertheless, it claimed that the existence of patterns of human rights violations was not sufficient to declare a violation. 244. The Court will examine the measures requested by the Commission and the representatives, taking into account the violations declared in the chapter of this judgment on 79
