aimed at repairing the harm caused to the victims.188 A. Injured party 196. The Court reiterates that, under the terms of Article 63(1) of the American Convention, injured parties are those who have been declared victims of the violation of a right recognized therein.189 Therefore, this Court considers that Tulio Alberto Álvarez Ramos is the “Injured Party” and, as the victim of the violations declared in Chapter VII of this judgment, he will be considered as the beneficiary of the reparations that the Court will now order. B. Measures of satisfaction and restitution 197. The Commission asked the Court to set aside the conviction against Mr. Tulio Álvarez and all the consequences arising therefrom, including the expungement of any records in his criminal history that would disqualify him from continuing to exercise his rights as a citizen. It further requested that the decisions of both organs of the Inter-American System in this case be disseminated throughout the Venezuelan Judiciary. 198. As measures of satisfaction, the representatives requested that the State restore the full enjoyment of the human rights violated by the criminal proceedings instituted against Mr. Tulio Álvarez and adopt the measures necessary to annul the judgment delivered by the Seventh Trial Court. 199. In addition, they requested the removal of all references to Mr. Tulio Álvarez in the Automated System of Registration and Control of Criminal Records and other records of the State’s security forces. 200. The representatives also asked the Court to require the publication of this judgment in the Official Gazette of Venezuela, as well as in the newspaper “La Nación” of Buenos Aires, in the Republic of Argentina 201. The State did not refer specifically to the measures of satisfaction. 202. In this judgment, the Court has declared the State responsible for the violation of the rights to freedom of expression, a fair trial, freedom of movement and residence and political rights, all recognized in the American Convention. The Court advises that in this case, at the time of delivering this judgment, Mr. Álvarez has fully complied with his sentence. 203. Therefore, by virtue of the violations proven, the specificities of the case, the time elapsed and the procedural effects, the Court decides that the State must adopt all necessary measures to set aside the conviction against Mr. Álvarez and the consequences arising therefrom, and to expunge all judicial, administrative, criminal, electoral or police records that exist against him as a result of said conviction. The State must implement these measures within one year from the notification of this judgment. 204. Regarding the publication of this judgment, as it has in other cases, the Court establishes that the State shall publish, within six months of notification of this judgment: a) the official summary of this judgment prepared by the Court, once, in the Official Gazette of Venezuela, in a legible and appropriate font size; b) the official summary of this judgment Cf.
