130. André Sales Pimenta told of creating a website with clippings and other materials on the life of Gabriel Sales Pimenta, but he abandoned it when he saw that progress was not being made in the criminal trial. He said he would get very frustrated with every setback in the criminal trial, that he was losing hope, and that today he feels extremely frustrated. He also emphasized that his brother José Sales Pimenta had followed the trial more closely at first. 210 131. Regarding the impact on the family of Gabriel Sales Pimenta, expert witness Cristina Barros Mauer concluded that his father, Geraldo Gomes Pimenta (now deceased) “retreated for the rest of his life, becoming less sociable and less communicative,” while in the case of his mother, Maria da Glória Sales Pimenta (also deceased now), though she was unable to attend her son’s burial due to her immense pain, after “the death of Gabriel, [...] she redoubled her efforts, and she spent the rest of her life committed to fighting to hold those guilty of murdering her son accountable and also fighting for human rights.” 211 Both of Gabriel Sales Pimenta’s parents died without having received resolution from the State concerning the murder of their son or reparation for the State’s failures. 132. Regarding the ongoing impunity in the case, Marcos Sales Pimenta asserted that: Everyone behaves in their own way, but the feeling we all had in common was a sense of indignation. First because he died, second because he died in that way, third because of the impunity. So this pain, this distress it causes us [...] That is what we felt and what we still feel today. 212 133. The expert opinion provided by Ms. Barros Mauer corroborated the statements of Gabriel’s brothers inasmuch as the expert concluded, inter alia, that: the effects of the trauma the family members experienced persisted, changing the course of each of their lives. Moreover, with regard to state actions, the family remained in the same situation faced by many other families affected by human rights violations: waiting for decades for a response from their country's legal authorities. 213 134. For all of the reasons discussed above, the Court finds that the State violated the rights to personal integrity established in Article 5(1) of the American Convention, in conjunction with Article 1(1), to the detriment of Maria da Glória Sales Pimenta, Geraldo Gomes Pimenta, Sérgio Sales Pimenta, Marcos Sales Pimenta, José Sales Pimenta, Rafael Sales Pimenta, André Sales Pimenta, and Daniel Sales Pimenta. IX REPARATIONS 135. Pursuant to the provisions of Article 63(1) of the American Convention, the Court has indicated that any violation of an international obligation that has caused harm entails the obligation to remedy it adequately, and that this provision reflects a customary norm that constitutes one of the fundamental principles of contemporary international law on state responsibility. 214 136. Remedying the harm produced by the infringement of an international obligation requires, whenever possible, full restitution (restitutio in integrum), which consists in restoring the prior situation. When this is not feasible, as in the majority of cases of human rights violations, this Court will determine measures to guarantee the violated rights and to remedy the consequences of those violations. 215 Therefore, the Court has found it necessary to grant various measures of reparation in 210 Cf.
