that it was evaluating this proposal and hoped to present its position on this point shortly, and this would be forwarded to the Court and the representatives opportunely. With regard to the payment to the heirs of Mercedes Barrera, the State sent a communication to the representatives informing them of the decision not to take extrajudicial measures to register the death of Mrs. Barrera, who died in the El Aro massacre, and whose body was buried without identification and without being recorded. The State indicated that the death certificate should be obtained through the judicial procedure of death “presumed owing to disappearance.” 64. The representatives did not share the State’s position, because they argued that her death was fully proved and the State itself had acknowledged it during the proceedings before the Court. The representatives indicated that it had transmitted this information to the heirs and that they should file the said judicial procedure, which requires legal representation and entails a cost. They advised that there are many heirs and, to date, they have not reached agreement about the way in which they are going to take this measure, which the representatives are unable to take for them. 65. The Court takes note of the information provided and urges the State to make every effort to expedite the respective procedures and, if possible, without this involving any cost to Mrs. Barrera’s next of kin. THEREFORE: THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, in exercise of its authority to monitor compliance with its decisions, pursuant to Articles 33, 62(1), 62(3,) 65, 67 and 68(1) of the American Convention on Human Rights, 25(1) and 30 of the Statute and 31(2) and 69 of its Rules of Procedure DECIDES THAT: 1. As indicated in the pertinent considering paragraphs of this Order, the State has complied partially with its obligations: a) To implement a housing program to provide adequate housing to the surviving victims who lost their homes and who require this (nineteenth operative paragraph of the Judgment), and b) To place a plaque in an appropriate public place in the villages of La Granja and El Aro (twentieth operative paragraph of the Judgment) 2. It will keep open the proceeding of monitoring compliance with the preceding operative paragraphs, as appropriate, and of operative paragraphs 15, 16, 17 and 18 of the Judgment, regarding the State’s obligations:                                                                                                                                                                                                  deposited in a bank account so that her heirs could request it, a measure that has not been taken to date. During the last private hearing, the representatives indicated that the heirs of Mercedes Barrera had not been able to access the amount deposited in their favor because the Treasury of the Ministry of Defense would not permit this without the corresponding inheritance proceeding, which, in their opinion, was impossible to comply with because, owing to the way in which the events occurred, no death certificate was issued for the victim or other documents required for this procedure. During the private hearing, the representatives proposed that the State assume the obligation to issue the official death certificate of Mercedes Barrera in order to fulfill this requirement to comply with the inheritance procedure.)
