69 considered.317 c) Request for the designation of schools with the names of the victims 229. The representatives asked the Court to order the State to designate a school in each area where the children in this case disappeared, with a plaque showing their names and a description of the facts that led to their disappearance, in order to preserve the historical memory, honor the dignity of the victims and educate the school community in general on these events from an historical perspective. However, in their final arguments, the representatives withdrew their request for this measure of reparation in this case. 230. For its part, based on the reasons outlined previously, the State asked the Court not to order the naming of schools in the instant case. Nevertheless, it indicated that, should it be ordered to carry out this measure, the State has a regulatory mechanism to make its implementation feasible. Considerations of the Court 231. The Court takes note of the position expressed by the representatives and the State and, in light of the representatives’ decision to withdraw their request, decides that it is not pertinent to order this measure of reparation in the instant case. As to the measure ordered in the Case of Contreras et al., the Court will monitor compliance opportunely in the relevant proceeding. d) Construction of a “garden museum” to honor the memory of forcibly disappeared children 232. The representatives proposed that the State establish a garden museum as a space to commemorate the children who were forcibly disappeared during the armed conflict and to raise awareness among the visiting public, both nationals and foreigners. To this end, they considered that the State should prepare educational charts with multimedia tools, information and testimonies on reunification to explain its significance. The representatives proposed the Cuscatlán Park as the site for the construction of the garden museum. They also requested that the families of the victims in this case be invited to the inauguration, in which a plaque would be unveiled containing a brief account of the disappearances. 233. The State expressed its willingness to promote the construction of a garden museum, considering that such a measure would not only serve as a form of reparation for the victims and their next of kin in this case, but also for other families who have suffered the forced disappearance of their children in El Salvador. However, it indicated that, should this measure be ordered, it would require prior planning with the competent national bodies to define the details of the project, such as the most appropriate location and other characteristics, with the victims and their representatives. Considerations of the Court 234. The right to know the truth entails having full and complete knowledge about the acts that took place, the people who participated in them, the specific circumstances and, in particular, the violations perpetrated and their motivation. In cases of forced disappearance of persons, the right to the truth also has a special facet: the knowledge of the fate and whereabouts of the victims. 318 The Court considers that, aside from the work carried out by various organizations to determine the fate 317 Cf.
