newspaper, in a legible and appropriate font size; and c) the full text of this judgment, available
for at least one year, on an official website of the National Government. The State must inform
the Court immediately once it has complied with the publications ordered. The one-year deadline
for the State to submit its first report established in operative paragraph 14 of this judgment
does not apply to this measure of satisfaction.
E.2 Public act of acknowledgement of responsibility
225. The Court hereby orders Colombia to hold a public act of acknowledgment of international
responsibility in relation to the facts of this case. The State should refer to the violations
established in this judgment, and its commitment to complying with the ruling, ascertaining the
whereabouts of the disappeared victim, and properly investigating, punishing, and making
reparations for the human rights violations committed. During the act, mention should also be
made of the particular impact on Candelaria Vergara because of her gender, due to the
disappearance of her husband and her efforts to find him, as well as the work of other women
who have had to search for their loved ones as victims of forced disappearances. The act should
also highlight the effects that Mr. Movilla’s forced disappearance and the State’s failure to properly
investigate it had on his family, with special mention of the impact on Mr. Movilla’s children
because they were small. The act should take the form of a public ceremony chaired by
representatives of the National Government and the entities responsible for guaranteeing and
protecting human rights. The public act should also be held in the presence of the victims of this
case. The State should come to an agreement with the victims or their representatives on the
manner of compliance of this public act, as well as on details, such as the date and place, and
must have the means of facilitating the presence of the victims. The act should be disseminated
via the media and must be held within one year of the notification of this judgment.
E.3 Educational grants
226. The Court has established in this judgment that the events that took place in this case
sparked a significant change in the lives of Mr. Movilla’s relatives, affecting their interpersonal
relations and personal development. Therefore, and bearing in mind what the representatives
requested and what the State has asserted, it orders, as a measure of satisfaction in this case,
that the State award the victims who have not already entered higher (technical or university)
education and who so request, grants for Colombian public institutions that cover all the costs
until they have concluded their higher education, be it at the technical or university level. The
victims of this measure of reparation, or their legal representatives, have six months from the
notification of this judgment to inform the State, by reliable means, of the studies they wish to
carry out. In each case, the grants must be awarded within six months of the date on which the
application is submitted. If any victim fails to submit a request within the established timeframe,
the State is exempted from complying with the measure.
E.4 Handing over of information on Pedro Julio Movilla Galarcio
227. It has been established in this judgment that the State carried out military intelligence
activities with respect to Pedro Movilla. The Court accepts the State’s argument that all such
information has been provided to the judicial proceedings. Nonetheless, it considers that, as a
measure of satisfaction for Mr. Movilla’s relatives, separate from the judicial proceedings, it is
appropriate for the State to afford them access to whatever information on him it has in its
possession. Therefore, this Court orders Colombia, within six months of receiving the notification
of this judgment, to undertake a comprehensive compilation of the information in the possession
of the different state agencies and to hand it over to Mr. Movilla’s relatives or their
representatives, coordinating with them the pertinent actions for that purpose. Furthermore,
within the same timeframe, the State must eliminate the mention of Mr. Movilla as an enemy of
