C. Measures of Satisfaction
187. The Commission requested, in general terms, that the Court order the State to adopt
measures of satisfaction to fully repair the alleged violations, both in their pecuniary and nonpecuniary aspects.
188. The representatives requested that the Court order Bolivia (i) to publish the official summary
of the judgment within a period of six months from the notification of the judgment to the State in
(a) the Government’s Official Gazette, and (b) in Los Tiempos, or in a national newspaper of similar
reputation. Along with these publications, it requested that the State publish its “public commitment
to develop a comprehensive, holistic and transformative national strategy to prevent and respond to
sexual violence against girls and adolescents, especially incest”; (ii) publish the entirety of the
judgment, for a period of one year, on the official State website, and (iii) recognize the human rights
violations confirmed in the judgment, announce the measures it has adopted and will adopt to ensure
that these violations do not occur again and express their “public commitment to develop a
comprehensive, holistic and transformative national strategy to prevent and respond to sexual
violence against girls and adolescents, especially incest,” through a press conference with the
participation of high level government officials.
189. The State rejected all the claims made. It stated that since the alleged violations did not exist,
it would not be their responsibility to make the requested publications or the press conference.
Finally, it indicated that, for several years, it has been generating legislation, public policies and
institutional actions to fight against sexual violence.
c.1 Publication of the judgment
190. The Court orders, as it has done in other cases,319 that the State publish, within a period of six
months from the notification of this judgment, in a legible and appropriate font size: (a) the summary
official of this judgment prepared by the Court, once only, in the Official Gazette; (b) the official
summary of this judgment prepared by the Court, once only, in a media outlet with wide national
circulation, and (c) this judgment in its entirety, available for a period of one year, in at least one
appropriate official website, in a manner accessible to the public from the home page of the website.
The State must immediately inform this Court once it proceeds to make each of the stipulated
publications, regardless of the period of one year to present its first report, as provided in operative
paragraph 22 of this judgment.
c.2 Public act of recognition of international responsibility
191. In order to repair the harm caused to the victim and prevent events such as those in this case
from being repeated, especially taking into account the state of absolute impunity of the sexual
violence suffered by Brisa, solely attributable to the conduct of the State, and the need to give
visibility to the importance of investigating with enhanced due diligence sexual crimes committed
against children and adolescents, the Court considers it necessary to order that the State carry out
a public act of recognition of international responsibility in relation to the facts of this case, within a
period of one year from the notification of this judgment. In said act, reference must be made to the
human rights violations declared in this judgment. It must be carried out through a public ceremony
in the presence of senior State officials and the alleged victim and/or her family and representatives,
if they so wish. The State and the victim, and/or their representatives, must agree on the modality
of compliance with the public act, as well as the specifications that are required, such as the place
and date of the event. Furthermore, in order to contribute to raising awareness to prevent and avoid
