276. The Court finds it necessary to establish, in order to repair the harm caused to the victims and to avoid a repetition of facts such as those of this case, that the State organize a public act to acknowledge international responsibility in relation to the facts of this case. During this act, reference must be made to the human rights violations declared in this judgment. Also, it should take place in a public ceremony in the presence of senior State officials and the members of Manuela’s family or their representatives. 439 Furthermore, as it has in other cases,440 the Court orders the State to disseminate this act as widely as possible through the media, including by radio, television and the social networks, in particular those belonging to the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Justice and Public Security. 277. The State and the victims and/or their representatives, must reach agreement on the method of complying with the public act, as well as on the necessary details such as the date and place.441 B.3 Scholarships for Manuela’s sons 278. The representatives asked the Court to order scholarships for Manuela’s two sons. For Manuela’s elder son, they requested a “full financial and educational scholarship so that he may complete his primary and secondary education and that he be provided with and ensured a tutor to support his studies” as well as a “full financial and educational scholarship so that he is able to study mechanics in the establishment of his choice, including transportation from his home to that establishment.” For Manuela’s younger son, the representatives requested a “full financial and educational scholarship so that he can undertake a university career, including post graduate studies in the area of systems engineering and computer science, to cover enrolment and tuition fees, academic supplies, transportation to visit his family in Cacaopera, attendance at congresses, additional courses if available, in the university of his choice, based on his personal interests, and for as long as his studies require.” The State did not comment on this request. 279. The Court notes that what happened to Manuela caused significant changes for the life project of her sons and had an impact on their personal and professional development. Consequently, the Court considers that it is appropriate to order the State to grant a scholarship in public or private primary, secondary, technical and higher education establishments in El Salvador for both Manuela’s sons, in agreement with them, so that they may complete primary and secondary education and undertake technical or university studies, at the graduate and/or postgraduate level, or vocational training.442 Moreover, the scholarship may not be conditional on their obtaining notes that allow them to obtain a merit scholarship or depend on their academic performance and, rather, must be granted based on the fact that they are victims of the violations declared in this judgment. The scholarship must be granted from the time that the beneficiaries ask the State to provide it and until the conclusion of their higher technical or university studies and must cover all the expenses required for them to conclude such studies, including academic or educational supplies, and maintenance expenses. The victims or their legal representatives have six months from notification of this judgment to advise the State of their intention to receive these scholarships. In addition, they have 24 months from the completion of their secondary studies to inform the State of their Cf. Case of Cantoral Benavides v.
