THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STATE OF
MEXICO:
1.
Conduct a thorough, impartial, and effective investigation into the whereabouts of Nitza
Paola Alvarado Espinoza, José Ángel Alvarado Herrera, and Rocío Irene Alvarado Reyes and, if appropriate,
adopt the necessary measures to identify their mortal remains and turn them over to their next of kin
according to their wishes.
2.
Conduct internal proceedings on the human rights violations set forth in the present report
and hold the corresponding trials for the crime of forced disappearance of Nitza Paola Alvarado Espinoza
Alvarado Espinoza, José Ángel Alvarado Herrera Alvarado Herrera, and Rocío Irene Alvarado Reyes, in an
impartial and effective manner and within a reasonable time, in order to clarify the facts completely, identify
all those responsible, and impose the corresponding punishments.
3.
Provide adequate compensation for the human rights violations set out in this report, in both
material and non-material terms, including fair compensation, the establishment and dissemination of the
historical truth concerning the events, a public act of acknowledgement of responsibility and the
implementation of an adequate support program for the next of kin.
4.
Order appropriate administrative, disciplinary, or criminal measures in response to the
actions or omissions of State officials that contributed to the denial of justice and to the current impunity
regarding the facts of the case, including any actions or omissions of officials that may have impeded the
conduct of the investigation.
5.
Adopt necessary measures to prevent the recurrence of similar acts in the future. Measures
to avoid recurrence in the instant case should include legislative, administrative, and other types of measures
to respond to the problem of forced disappearance in Mexico and its particular incidence in the State of
Chihuahua. Likewise, legislative, administrative, and other types of measures should be taken to strengthen
the capacity to investigate cases of forced disappearance of persons and to address structural factors that
lead to impunity in these cases. Similarly, legislative, administrative, and other types of measures should be
adopted to ensure that military criminal justice authorities refrain from obstructing investigations in cases of
forced disappearance.
