84 this issue, bind the States of the region to collaborate in good faith in this respect, either by conceding extradition or prosecuting those responsible for the facts of this case on their territory. * * * 133. It has been shown that, even though these criminal proceedings were instituted to clarify the facts, they have not been effective to prosecute and, if applicable, punish those responsible, as indicated above. Although some individuals have been convicted in first and second instance, the proceedings have not concluded; thus, the State has not punished all those criminally responsible for the illegal acts that are the subject of the application. In the context of impunity that has been verified, the judicial recourses have not been effective and time plays an important role in eliminating all traces of the crime, rendering the judicial protection embodied in Articles 8(1) and 25 of the American Convention illusory. The Court considers, therefore, that the State is responsible for the violation of the rights embodied in these articles, in relation to Article 1(1) of this Convention, to the detriment of Agustín Goiburú Giménez, Carlos José Mancuello Bareiro, Rodolfo Ramírez Villalba and Benjamín Ramírez Villalba, as well as of their next of kin; namely, Elva Elisa Benítez Feliú de Goiburú, Rogelio Agustín Goiburú Benítez, Rolando Agustín Goiburú Benítez, Patricia Jazmín Goiburú Benítez, Rosa Mujica Giménez, Gladis Ester Ríos de Mancuello, Claudia Anahí Mancuello Ríos, Carlos Marcelo Mancuello Ríos, Ana Arminda Bareiro de Mancuello, Mario Mancuello, Ana Elizabeth Mancuello Bareiro, Hugo Alberto Mancuello Bareiro, Mario Andrés Mancuello Bareiro, Emilio Raúl Mancuello Bareiro, Fabriciana Villalba de Ramírez, Lucrecia Ramírez de Borba, Eugenia Adolfina Ramírez de Espinoza, Sotera Ramírez de Arce, Sara Diodora Ramírez Villalba, Mario Artemio Ramírez Villalba, Herminio Arnoldo Ramírez Villalba, Julio Darío Ramírez Villalba and María Magdalena Galeano. 87 Cf.
