296. The representatives requested that a public act of acknowledgement of
responsibility be organized in the Community’s main settlement, according to their
customs and traditions, and that it be disseminated by the media. The State indicated
that it “had no objection to making a public acknowledgement, provided that the exact
nature of the Community’s intention was defined […] and […] that it was organized in a
similar way to the act carried out in the Yakye Axa and Sawhoyamaxa cases.”
297. As it has ordered in other cases,304 in order to repair the damage caused to the
victims, the Court finds it necessary that the State carry out a public act to
acknowledge its international responsibility for the violations declared in this judgment.
This act must be agreed upon previously with the Community. Furthermore, the act
must take place at the current site of the Community, during a public ceremony
attended by senior State authorities and the members of the Community, including
those who live in other areas; to this end, the State must provide the necessary means
to facilitate transportation. The leaders of the Community must be permitted to
participate in the said act. Moreover, the State must conduct this act in the
Community’s languages, and in Spanish and Guaraní, and must broadcast it on a radio
station with wide coverage in the Chaco. The State must organize this act within one
year of notification of this judgment.

Publication and broadcast of the judgment
298. Although the representatives did not request this measure of reparation, the
Court finds that it is relevant and important as a measure of satisfaction due to the
length of time that the Community has been claiming its rights. Therefore, as the Court
has ordered in other cases,305 the State must publish once, in the Official Gazette,
paragraphs 1 to 5, 32, 42, 43, 48 to 50, 64 to 84, 89, 95, 99, 101, 102, 106, 107, 109

166, 168 to 170, 182, 189 to 193, 195, 196, 200 to 202, 205, 206, 208, 213 to 217,

278, all including the headings of each chapter and the respective section - without the
footnotes - as well as the operative paragraphs of this judgment. It must publish the
official summary of this judgment prepared by the Court in a daily newspaper with
national circulation. In addition, as the Court has ordered in previous cases,306 this
judgment must be published in its entirety on an official web page, to be available for
one year. The State must publish this judgment in the newspapers and on the
Internet, within six months of notification of this judgment.
299. Moreover, as it has previously,307 the Court finds it appropriate that the State
publicize the official summary of the judgment delivered by the Court on a radio
