sure that those facts were also object of the processing of the present case before
the Commission and that they are related to the facts of the same prior to May 9,
1992. It is important to mention that before the Court Peru did not object the
evidence regarding the facts of after May 9, 1992 nor did it present arguments to
contradict said facts, despite having multiple opportunities to do so.
B)
REGARDING THE DETERMINATION OF THE ALLEGED VICTIMS
170. In the present case, pursuant to that stated in Article 33(1) of the Rules of
Procedure, the Commission included in the text of the application the name of the
alleged victims, indicating who the deceased inmates were (“whose death [was]
established in a irrefutable manner through the body of evidence”), the inmates
injured, and the inmates that resulted without injuries. With regard to the next of kin
of the alleged victim, despite the fact that the Commission requested that the Court
declare that they were the victims of breaches to Articles 510, 8, and 25 of the
Convention, the first only indicated the name of some of the next of kin of the
inmates that died (Appendix A of the application). Likewise, it mentioned that the list
of the alleged victims presented by the petitioners in the proceedings before the
Commission was not contested by the State.
171. In the brief of pleadings and motions the intervener indicated that there were
11 persons included in the application as “uninjured” inmates, but that according to
the evidence collected by her these people had been injured during the events of this
case. Later, when responding a request for clarifications to facilitate adjudication of
the case (supra para. 104) the intervener claimed that there were two more people
in the same situation. In this regard, the intervener explained that after the year
2001, alleged victims regarding which they did not have information gave it to her
and that others gave her a more detailed information, and she also explained that
some injuries to the hearing system, injuries caused by splinters, and mild bullet
injuries were not originally considered as injuries by some inmates, reason for which
it was thought that they were not inured. On its part, the Commission, when
presenting the observations that were requested to it regarding this matter (supra
paras. 102 and 103) indicated, inter alia, that “if the common intervener presented
evidence that leads the Honorable Tribunal to the conclusion that [said] persons
were injured during the facts, the Commission considers their inclusion as victims
appropriate.”
172. The Court will take into consideration the evidence included in the case file in
order to proceed to determine if the alleged surviving victims, whose names are in
the application, resulted uninjured or injured, including these 13 alleged victims to
which the intervener refers as allegedly injured (supra para. 171). The Tribunal
points out that the State was guaranteed its right to defense and that it did not
present any objection or observation in this regard.
173. Likewise, the Tribunal will take into consideration the evidence requested by
the President to facilitate adjudication of the case in what refers to the alleged
victims (supra paras. 122 and 124), according to which there was one more person
that should be included as an alleged surviving victim,11 whose name was not

The breach of Article 5 of the Convention regarding the next of kin was claimed in the brief of
final arguments.
