8 could act free from pressure and interference by the political powers.” Finally, the State admitted “the infringement specified in the brief of requests [and] arguments”, concerning Article 2 of the Inter-American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture, with the exception of such “aggravation affecting the direct family of the victim, and it is left to judicial investigation and punishment to determine whether the personal integrity o[f Mr.] Santiago Fortunato Gómez-Palomino was damaged.” 31. On its part, the Commission requested the Court to, inter alia, admit the acknowledgment of international responsibility carried out by the State with respect to the points which have ceased to be contested, and that the proceedings continue with regard to some aspects of the alleged violation of the rights enshrined in Articles 5, 8 and 25 of the American Convention and the alleged breach of Article 2 thereof and of Article I of the Inter-American Convention on the Forced Disappearance of Persons, as well as regarding certain claims concerning reparations. Along the same lines, the representatives requested the Inter-American Court to determine the points not covered by the acknowledgment of responsibility carried out by the State. On the acknowledgment of the State regarding the facts 32. In view of the acknowledgment of responsibility carried out by the State, the Tribunal considers that the facts in the application filed by the Inter-American Commission in the instant case (supra para. 1), that are deemed to be established according to paragraph 54(8) to 54(20) and 54(28) a 54(31) of the instant Judgment, have ceased to be in dispute. 33. The facts relating to the alleged violation of Article 5 of the Convention, to the detriment of Mrs. María Dolores Gómez-Palomino, Mrs. Luzmila Sotelo-Palomino, Mr. Emiliano Palomino-Buitrón, Mrs. Mercedes Palomino-Buitrón, Mrs. Mónica Palomino-Buitrón, Mrs. Rosa Palomino-Buitrón and Mrs. Margarita Palomino-Buitrón, sisters and brother to Mr. Santiago Gómez-Palomino, as well as the pecuniary and non pecuniary damages that would have been caused to the next of kin of Mr. Gómez-Palomino, as a result of his forced disappearance, are still in dispute. 34. Consequently, the Court considers it fit to open a chapter regarding the facts involved in the instant case, to cover both the facts acknowledged by the State and the facts that may have been proven by in the body of evidence appearing on the records of the case (infra para. 54). On the acknowledgment of the State regarding the law 35. The Court deems it fit to admit the acknowledgment of international responsibility carried out by the State for having violated the Rights enshrined in Articles 4(1) (Right to Life), and 7(1), 7(2), 7(3), 7(4), 7(5) and 7(6) (Right to Personal Liberty) of the American Convention, regarding Article 1(1) (Obligation to Respect Rights) of the aforementioned Convention, to the detriment of Mr. Santiago Gómez-Palomino.
