unless it cannot be supported based on objective and verifiable criteria.
That strategy must "strategy should take into account the contextual
analysis."
d) "[T]he activities to be performed are determined in an integrated
fashion, through all necessary and appropriate means and procedures
for the identification, release or exhumation of the disappeared person
or establishment of the person’s identity. The comprehensive search
strategy should include an action plan and a timeline and should be
evaluated periodically."
e) The search "should be centralized under, or coordinated by, a
competent body that ensures effective coordination with all the other
entities whose cooperation is needed for the search to be effective,
exhaustive and prompt."
f) "The search for the disappeared person and the criminal
investigation of the persons responsible for the disappearance should

system, mechanisms and procedures should be established to ensure
cooperation, coordination and an exchange of information."
151. In order to comply with the specified actions, the State must put together a specific search
plan for Mr. Fredy Núñez Naranjo within a term of three months from the notification of this
judgment. This plan must follow the guidelines indicated in the two preceding paragraphs. Ecuador
must allow the intervention of Mr. Núñez Naranjo's declared victims' family members, and/or their
representatives, in the preparation of this specific search plan. The State may not take the
established term or any eventual delays in the adoption of the orderly plan to suspend search
actions. The State must inform this Court immediately once the search plan has been completed,
and must send the Court a copy of the document in which it is recorded. The submission of that
plan is independent of the duty to present the first report arranged in operative paragraph 13 of
this judgment, within the term of one year counted from the notification of this judgment.
