criminal proceedings for the State to fulfill it obligation. Failure of these investigations cannot be attributed to lack of cooperation by the victims who have not appeared as plaintiffs (“partie civile”) as it has been proven that they did not have that possibility in the military criminal proceeding of 1991. Even though in 1994 the Constitutional Court ordered in another case that civil parties be admitted, this was not always complied with in military criminal proceedings.
