its authority within the military; (b) build a music room within the school the victim attended, supply it with instruments, and install a plaque at the entrance with a biography of Óscar Tabares; (c) create and fund the “Óscar Iván Tabares Toro” scholarship for members of his family—both his parents and his siblings—so that they can receive an education or training in some profession either domestically or internationally; and (d) ensure the provision of all necessary protective measures for the family of Óscar Iván Tabares Toro, including, inter alia, political asylum in another country, security systems, and change of identity. In addition, the representatives asked that the State be ordered to develop new training and regular educational programs for high-ranking Colombian military officers and supervisors on respect for human rights and limits on military discipline. Lastly, they requested the creation of an interinstitutional board including the Prosecutor General of the Nation, GRUBE, Legal Medicine, the Search Unit for Missing Persons, and the Ministry of Defense—with the participation of civil society organizations—for the purpose of updating, reviewing, and implementing protocols suitable for the rigorous investigation of serious human rights violations committed within the ranks of the army. 157. In their final written arguments, they also requested as a measure of non-repetition that the State be ordered to adapt its domestic legal system by designing and implementing mechanisms to ensure that complaints and investigations of members of the Armed Forces of Colombia for forced disappearance within the ranks are not subject to the authority of military commands, military institutions, or the military justice system. 177 158. The Court observes that the representatives, in their final written arguments, indicated that they would present a request for provisional measures that would contain more details on the need to safeguard the life and integrity of Mr. Tabares Toro’s relatives. The Court confirms that this request was submitted on December 7, 2022, and that on February 8, 2023, the Court adopted provisional measures for Leidy Julieth Gallego Toro, Jhon Alber Urrego, María Bibiancy Tabares Toro, Víctor Alonso León, María Camila Henao, and Miguel Ángel Orozco (supra para. 12). The Court thus considers it unnecessary to order additional protective measures in this judgment. With regard to the remaining requests, this Court considers that the measures of reparation ordered in this judgment are suitable and sufficient to remedy the violations against the victim. Consequently, it does not consider additional measures of reparation necessary. H. Compensation 159. The Commission requested appropriate reparation for all the human rights violations, including payment for both pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage. 160. The representatives requested that the State: (a) pay USD 212,566.00 to Óscar Iván Tabares Toro for established loss of earnings and potential future loss of earnings, which shall be paid to his mother, María Elena Toro; (b) pay USD 207,884.00 to María Elena Toro for established loss of earnings, potential future loss of earnings, and help she received from her son; and (c) set an amount in equity equivalent to the consequential damage suffered by María Elena Toro and her husband, Holmar de Jesús Gallegos, because of the expenses they had to incur while searching on their own. 161. In addition, they requested that the following be granted for non-pecuniary damage: (a) USD 100,000.00 to Óscar Iván Tabares Toro, to be paid to his mother María Elena Toro; and (b) USD 90,000.00 to each of the victims (mother, father, stepfather, and siblings). 162. The State asked that the measures of reparation be directly connected to the harm suffered and the violations recognized by the State and found proven by the Court. 177 The representatives specifically requested that the State: (i) designate impartial, independent civilian oversight authorities who can convey information on any serious human rights violations in the military to competent authorities so that searches and investigations can be conducted; (ii) adapt domestic laws such that there are genuine consequences if public employees learn of serious human rights violations within the ranks but fail to inform the appropriate authorities; (iii) take steps to ensure that individuals are suspended from military service if circumstantial evidence indicates that they participated in forced disappearance; and (iv) modify Article 27 of Order 1793 of the year 2000 such that the determination of forced disappearance is not made by a military authority but by an independent, impartial civilian authority, and such that this determination is made promptly, within 30 days, to increase the likelihood that the investigation and search will be successful. 36
