In turn, at the same public hearing the representatives argued that they recognized the importance of the statement made by the State regarding the international liability thereof for the violation of Articles 4 and 5 of the American Convention. 66. Later on, in its closing arguments, the State claimed that as a clear proof of its actual commitment to the protection of human rights, for the sake of ethics it had chosen to admit its failure to properly supervise the operation of Casa de Reposo de Guararapes during the period in which Mr. Damião Ximenes-Lopes was hospitalized there. In view of the patient´s death and the mistreatment he had suffered, the State acknowledged its international liability for the violation of Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention (supra paras. 36 and 63). 67.
