Therefore,
THE COURT
pursuant to Article 67 of the American Convention on Human Rights and Articles 31(3) and
68 of the Rules of Procedure,
DECIDES:
Unanimously,
1.
To declare inadmissible the part of the request for interpretation filed by the
representatives of the victims that seeks to include places that were excluded by the Court,
because this would involve modifying the provisions of paragraph 56 of the Judgment on
merits, reparations and costs delivered on October 25, 2012, in accordance with paragraphs
17 to 20 of this Judgment on interpretation.
2.
To declare admissible the request for interpretation regarding the implementation of
the “Single List of Victims and Next of Kin of Victims of Grave Human Rights Violations
during the Massacre of El Mozote” and, consequently, to clarify by interpretation, based on
paragraphs 310 and 311 and the second operative paragraph of the Judgment on merits,
reparations and costs delivered on October 25, 2012, that the State’s obligation to identify
the executed victims, surviving victims, next of kin of executed victims, and forcibly
displaced victims of the massacres of El Mozote and nearby places, under the “Single List of
Victims and Next of Kin of Victims of Grave Human Rights Violations during the Massacre of
El Mozote,” permits the inclusion of persons even if the facts of the massacre occurred in
places near or adjoining the sites that the Court declared as places affected in paragraph 57
of the Judgment, provided that the State understands this in accordance with its
acknowledgements of responsibility, pursuant to paragraphs 21 to 38 of this Judgment on
interpretation.
3.
To proceed to amend the error of the expression “departmental capital of Arambala”
used in paragraph 56 of the Judgment on merits, reparations and costs, to the correct
expression of “town (urban area) of Arambala,” in accordance with paragraph 39 of this
Judgment on interpretation.
4.
To require the Secretariat of the Court to notify this Judgment to the State of El
Salvador, the representatives of the victims and the Inter-American Commission on Human
Rights.
Done, at San José, Costa Rica, on August 19, 2013, in the Spanish and English languages,
the Spanish version being authentic.
