58 depend on the damage caused, both from the pecuniary and non-pecuniary point of view. Reparations should not make the victims or their successors neither wealthier nor poorer.158 138. In the chapter on Proven Facts, this Court held it proven that, since the return to democracy, the Chilean State has pursued a policy of reparations for the violations perpetrated during the military dictatorship. This policy has benefited surviving victims and the next of kin of deceased or disappeared victims, and has sought national reconciliation. The Court celebrates the steps taken by the State and highlights the work of the Comisión Nacional de Verdad y Reconciliación (National Truth and Reconciliation Commission), the Corporación Nacional de Reparación y Reconciliación (National Reparation and Reconciliation Corporation) and the Comisión Nacional sobre Prisión Política y Tortura (National Commission on Political Imprisonment and Torture) (supra paras. 82(26) to 82(30)). Additionally, it is a nondisputed fact that Mr. Almonacid-Arellano’s next of kin benefited from this state reparation policy (supra paras. 82(34) and 82(35)). 139. Nevertheless, the instant case refers to the denial of justice suffered by Mrs. Gómez-Olivares and her children as a result of the facts analyzed in the previous chapter. Hence, the Court, in accordance with the evidence collected during the proceedings and in the light of the foregoing criteria, now proceeds to analyze the claims filed by the Commission and the representative and the considerations of the State, so that it may order the reparations it deems relevant. 140. Arguments of the Commission a) in order to make reparations for the violations committed in the instant case, the Court should instruct the State to: i) ii) iii) iv) 158 conduct a complete, impartial, and effective investigation of the facts aimed at establishing the truth and punishing those persons responsible for the murder of Mr. Almonacid-Arellano, whether as perpetrators or instigators; adopt legislative and other measures, in accordance with its constitutional processes and the provisions of the American Convention, with a view to finally suspending the effects of Decree Law No. 2.191 in all instances and taking all judicial proceedings in which it was applied back to the moment when said Decree Law had not been applied; guarantee the victims of human rights violations committed during the military dictatorship that ruled the country between September 1973 and March 1990, that they shall be entitled to judicial protection and to a simple and prompt recourse, pursuant to Articles 8 and 25 of the Convention; adopt the necessary measures to guarantee that the cases concerning human rights violations shall not be investigated or tried by military courts, under no circumstances whatsoever; and Cf.
