-15for the non-pecuniary damage suffered by María Victoria Cruz Franco increased by equal parts the amounts corresponding to her eight children, beneficiaries of compensation for non-pecuniary damage. With regard to the compensation established in favor of Ernestina and Erlinda Serrano Cruz, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs opened bank accounts in the Banco Agrícola in their favor and deposited the amounts established in the judgment. If the amounts deposited in favor of Ernestina and Erlinda Serrano Cruz are not claimed by them within ten years, the State shall proceed as established in paragraph 210 and in the nineteenth operative paragraph of the judgment of March 1, 2005 (supra Having seen paragraph 1); and (d) Organization of a public act acknowledging its responsibility for the violations declared in the judgment on merits, reparations and costs, and in reparation to the victims and their next of kin4 (eighth operative paragraph of the judgment of March 1, 2005). Bearing in mind the observations of the representatives and the Commission, the Court does not find sufficient cause to consider that the act carried out by El Salvador on March 22, 2006, did not comply with the requirements in the judgment. In the judgment, the Court ordered that the act should “be carried out by means of a public ceremony in the city of Chalatenango, in the presence of senior State authorities and members of the Serrano Cruz family,” and this was complied with, because the State carried out the public act in the atrium of Chalatenango Cathedral; moreover, it was presided by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who is one of the most senior State authorities, and State authorities such as the President of the Supreme Court of Justice, Justices, Deputies of the Legislative Assembly, the Ombudsman, the Attorney General, the departmental Governor, and Ministers attended the event.

However, the Court ordered the State to conduct an act “acknowledging its responsibility for the violations declared in the judgment on merits, reparations and costs, and in reparation to the victims.” In this regard, the Court notes that the act organized by the State was not devoted exclusively to the case of the Serrano Cruz sisters, as would have been most desirable, but a major part of the act was devoted to presenting “the first case resolved by the Inter-institutional Commission to trace children who disappeared as a result of the armed conflict El Salvador.” Nevertheless, the Court has verified that, during his address, the Minister of Foreign Affairs referred to the case of the Serrano Cruz sisters and considers that the words of this authority, in representation of the State, to the effect that “he regretted the events concerning Erlinda and Ernestina Serrano Cruz, which were determined in the judgment and stood by them and their family in the terms of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in its judgment of March 1, 2005,” can be interpreted as a form of “acknowledgment of responsibility in relation to the violations declared in the judgment, and in reparation to the victims and their next of kin.” The Minister also stated, inter alia, that he “regretted profoundly all the events that occurred during the armed conflict that reigned in El Salvador for more than 12 years which directly affected each and every Salvadoran family, and particularly the 4 Regarding the requirements for this act, the Court ordered that: “it should be carried out by means of a public ceremony in the city of Chalatenango, in the presence of senior State authorities and members of the Serrano Cruz family”; “[t]he State shall provide the necessary means to facilitate the presence of these persons in the said act”; and “the State shall disseminate this act through the media, and on the Internet.”
