31 Mrs. Arrivillaga de Villacorta because, without any work experience, her sons had to look for work, thus terminating her husband’s hopes of ensuring they had professional degrees. In 1996, Mrs. Arrivillaga de Villacorta began to work, but when her children found work, she stopped working. At one time, her children lost their jobs and the family spent eight months without electric light, and the water and telephone services were cut off. Currently, her income depends on one of her children who lives with her. Her husband would have liked to be remembered by the establishment of a school in his memory, which could be near the Monte Rosa farm, in the municipality of La Reforma, Department of San Marcos. Additionally, she requested that the street on which the house in which Mr. Villacorta Fajardo grew up with his mother was located should bear his complete name, including his mother’s last name. She was grateful for the “historical opportunity” to be heard by the Court and hopes that a precedent in international justice is set, because there is no justice in Guatemala. She considers that both she and her children “have the right to reparation, and the State of Guatemala has the obligation to repair to some extent all the damage and suffering that it has caused [them].” She also stated that she hopes that the investigation into the case continues and that the Guatemalan Government fulfills its commitments, because many families have been destroyed, left helpless, with their hopes and dreams cut short, and with serious psychological, emotional and financial injuries. f) Expert report of Marco Antonio Sagastume Gemmell, professor of the Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala and President of the Guatemalan Human Rights Academy Mr. Carpio Nicolle was not only a well-known politician but also the first graduate of the School or Faculty of Political Science of the Universidad de San Carlos; he was a businessman and, above all, a journalist. In 1992, Mr. Carpio Nicolle proposed that a special National Assembly should be convened in order to reform errors in the Constitution. Mr. Carpio Nicolle stated that it was necessary to construct a new political project that “led to the establishment of human dignity.” It appeared that Mr. Carpio Nicolle would win the 1994 elections, because he had a large following and defended the necessary respect of human rights, particularly for the indigenous peoples of Guatemala. On July 3, 1993, Mr. Carpio Nicolle was arbitrarily or extra-legally executed by the Civilian Self-Defense Patrols (PAC), who were legalized and financed by Guatemala’s military sector, which also controlled them. Thus, even thought the said PAC did not take a political stance, the head of the presidential staff at the time of the extrajudicial execution of Mr. Carpio Nicolle already appeared to be a possible presidential candidate in future elections for the “El Patriota” Party. The PAC of San Pedro Jocopilas had so much power that they could establish a curfew and carry out kidnappings and torture.
