the time at which the facts of the case occurred were insufficient to resolve the problem because they were allocated insufficient resources, and owing to a lack of coordination between the different institutions and a comprehensive protection strategy. In addition, the Court has verified that, in its last National Report presented to the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review of the UN Human Rights Council, dated August 7, 2012, the State acknowledged that, among the challenges it faced, was “implementation of a coordinated inter-agency strategy for preventing violence against women in all circumstances.” For the purposes of this case, the Court has also established, specifically, that the State had not proved that it had implemented the necessary measures to ensure that the officials responsible for receiving missing person reports had the capacity and sensitivity to understand the gravity of such reports in the context of violence against women, and the willingness and training to act immediately and effectively (supra paras. 120 and 133). That said, in its answer to the submission of the case, the State mentioned the creation of the “early warning system of the Alba-Keneth Law,” coordinated by the Office of the Attorney General (PGN) (supra para. 251), which “seeks to provide better protection for children and adolescents against kidnapping, trafficking, sale and smuggling […].”347 However, it did not indicate whether a similar system existed in its domestic law for the situation of adult women reported missing in the context of this case. 265. The Court has verified that, on October 11, 2012, a group of members of Congress of the Republic of Guatemala filed a “bill on the immediate search for missing women.” In the justification for this initiative, the case of Claudina Isabel Velásquez Paiz was cited as an example in which “the delay in taking immediate actions to search for missing persons, especially women, may assist the perpetrators who cut short their life.”348 It also cited the Guatemalan Ombudsman’s report on the case of Claudina Velásquez, in which he criticized the 24-hour delay for receiving a missing person report, because this created a lapse of time during which the victim was left defenseless and prevented the establishment of an adequate record of missing persons for the purposes of their subsequent identification (supra para. 131). On March 18, 2014, the congressional Committee on Legislation and Constitutional Matters issued a favorable report on this bill, considering that “there is no coordination mechanism that allows for an appropriate response to the disappearance of women,” “that, despite the efforts made concerning safety and justice, the level of violence against women in Guatemala is high and is increasing year by year,” and that “the level of impunity in cases of the death of women is over 90%.”349 This bill has not been approved by the Guatemalan Congress. 266. Consequently, taking into account that the need to regulate the search for missing women in Guatemala has been identified, the Court deems it pertinent to require the State to adopt a national strategy, system, mechanism or program, by legislative or other means, to ensure the immediate and effective search for missing women, and that ensures that in cases of reports of this nature, the corresponding authorities receive them immediately, without the need for formalities and, at the same time, initiate actions to locate the possible victims and prevent the violation of their rights to life and to personal integrity. All this, within a reasonable time and with the respective allocation of institutional and budgetary resources. 350 C.3.4 Request for a statistical information system Cf.
