46 officials from the Public Prosecution Service even threatening prosecution if the parents refused to allow the procedure.”209 176. From the foregoing, the Commission concludes that the State of Guatemala violated Article 5(1) of the American Convention to the detriment of the family members Jorge Rolando Velásquez Durán, Elsa Claudina Paiz Vidal de Velásquez, and Pablo Andrés Velásquez Paiz, taken in conjunction with the general obligation to respect and ensure rights envisaged in Article 1(1) of that international instrument. VI. CONCLUSIONS 177. In this report, the Inter-American Commission has evaluated all the elements available in the case file, based on the human rights standards of the inter-American system and other applicable instruments, the case law and the literature, in order to decide the merits of the case brought. The IACHR confirms its findings to the effect that the State of Guatemala is responsible for violations of the rights to life and humane treatment recognized in Articles 4, 5 and 11 of the American Convention, all in connection with its obligations under Article 1(1) of that treaty and Article 7 of the Convention of Belém do Pará. The Commission also finds that the State violated Claudina Isabel Velásquez Paiz’s rights under Article 7 of the Convention of Belém do Pará, in relation to Article 24 of the American Convention, in conjunction with the general obligation to respect and ensure rights established in Article 1(1) of the latter treaty. 178. Finally, the IACHR concludes that the State violated the right to have one’s integrity respected, as recognized in Article 5(1) of the American Convention, in relation to the obligations established in Article 1(1) thereof, to the detriment of Jorge Rolando Velásquez Durán, Elsa Claudina Paiz Vidal de Velásquez, and Pablo Andrés Velásquez Paiz, as well as the right to a fair trial and judicial protection recognized at Articles 8(1) and 25 of the American Convention, in conjunction with the obligations under Article 1(1) thereof and Article 7 of the Convention of Belém do Pará. VII. RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the foregoing analysis and the conclusions it reached in this case, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights is recommending to that Guatemalan State that it: 1. Complete a timely, immediate, serious and impartial investigation to solve the murder of Claudina Isabel Velásquez Paiz and identify, prosecute and, as appropriate, punish those responsible. 2. Adopt and/or, as appropriate, adapt investigation protocols and expert witness services used in all crimes connected with the disappearance, rape or murder of women, in accordance with international standards on such matters and with a gender-aware perspective. 209 Appendix 37.
