Procedure, this case leaves open the possibility of deepening a
discussion on whether a future reform or judicial practice by the
Commission and the Inter-American Court in a specific case would
allow the participation of multiple States as parties to the process.
Bearing in mind the complexity of the human rights violations
exposed in this case and the seriousness with which an operation
as dark and bloody as Plan Condor, in which various States
participated, must be investigated, it is necessary to place these
concerns on the record so they can hopefully draw attention to the
organs of the system as well as to the representatives of the
victims so that they can be presented, admitted, and debated
within the system, either through reform of the Rules of Procedure
or, as I have argued in other votes, through case law development.
