approved by instances within CIEDEF and its financing is guaranteed thanks to
international cooperation.
154. The Court notes that, the relatives, by means of their statements agreed on
mentioning the uncertainty about not knowing the fate of Renato Ticona.
Furthermore, in the conclusions of the psychological expert opinion, it was
determined that as long as there is uncertainty about whether Renato lives or is
dead, the process of grief is impossible (supra para. 32(e)).
155. As has been established in this Judgment as part of the duty to investigate,
the State must carried out an effective search of the victim’s whereabouts (supra
para. 80) since the right of the victim's family to know the fate or whereabouts of
the disappeared victim128 constitutes a measure of reparation and therefore, an
expectation that the State must satisfy to them.129 It is of utmost importance for the
relatives of the disappeared victim, the clarification of the whereabouts or fate of the
victim, since by doing so, the relatives would be relieved from the anguish and
suffering caused by the uncertainty about the whereabouts and fate of the
disappeared loved one.
156. The Court positively values that the State is making efforts by means of the
project that CIEDEF is developing, to shed light on the cases involving forced
disappearances that occurred between 1964 and 1982, including the search of
Renato Ticona.
157.
Based on the foregoing, this Tribunal deems that for the purposes of the case
at hand, the State shall promptly and effectively carry out a search of Renato Ticona.

affidavit, declared that as a measure of a symbolic reparations he requested the
Court “the publication of the judgment in a national newspaper” (supra para. 32(b)).
