93 Arguments of the State 230. The State expressed: a) in its response to the petition and observation to the brief of pleadings and motions, that “it accepts the failure to comply with the general obligation of respect and guarantee of human rights established in Article 1(1) of the American Convention[, …] it accepts partial responsibility in the violations to the right to life[, …] as long as the Judicial Power of Peru does not issue a ruling on the historical and detailed truth of the events that occurred between May 6 and 9, 1992;” b) in its final oral arguments it stated that Peru, for twenty years, lived a extremely serious situation of internal conflict” and that “the facts of May 6 to 9[, 1992 …] were committed against inmates of a specific orientation. The acts of violence were directed towards two pavilions, or mainly against one pavilion, pavilion 1A and pavilion 4B, occupied at the time of the facts by inmates accused of crimes of terrorism linked to Peru’s communist party Sendero Luminos[. …T]he act had a direct purpose: attack Sendero Luminoso;” c) in its final written arguments that “even though individual responsibilities will be determined within the Domestic Jurisdiction, in the terms of the proceedings that are currently being followed before the Judicial Power […,] the magnitude of the facts to which the present proceedings refer and the responsibility of the Peruvian State in the same cannot be ignored;” and d) that “it acknowledges its responsibility for the facts that occurred between May 6 and 9, 1992.” Considerations of the Court 231. Article 1(1) of the Convention states that: The States Parties to this Convention undertake to respect the rights and freedoms recognized herein and to ensure to all persons subject to their jurisdiction the free and full exercise of those rights and freedoms, without any discrimination for reasons of race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, economic status, birth, or any other social condition. 232. Article 4(1) of the Convention states that: [e]very person has the right to have his life respected. This right shall be protected by law and, in general, from the moment of conception. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his life. 233. The Tribunal considers it convenient to analyze the violation of Article 4 of the Convention due to the seriousness of the facts, the circumstances in which they occurred, and the fact that Peru did not acknowledge the events that occurred after May 9, 1992 (supra paras. 150 through 152).
