81 (supra paragraphs 131, 132, 133 and 135), the Court is dismissing the representatives’ allegation and finds that the State did not violate the right to a presumption of innocence protected under Article 8(2) of the American Convention, in combination with Article 1(1). XII ARTICLE 50 (THE COMMISSION’S REPORT) Pleadings of the Commission 179. The Commission did not claim violation of this article. Pleadings of the alleged victims’ representatives 180. The representatives of the alleged victims argued the following with regard to Article 50 of the Convention: a) The State did not comply with the recommendations made by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in the report it prepared under Article 50 of the American Convention, which constitutes per se noncompliance with its international obligations. Moreover, Costa Rica also informed the Commission that it would not take the measures the Commission recommended because “the Executive Branch cannot interfere in decisions taken by the Legislative or Judicial Branch;” b) the State’s international responsibility can be compromised by any State organ; because domestic remedies must be exhausted before the international protection that the inter-American system for the protection of human rights offers can be sought, it is not strange that the violation of those rights should ultimately emanate from the judicial branch; c) the existence of legislative bills hardly constitutes compliance with the Commission’s Article 50 recommendations; and d) consequently, by not adopting measures to comply with those recommendations and by having advised the Commission that it would not take the measures under domestic law, the State also violated Article 50 of the Convention. Pleadings of the State. 181. With regard to Article 50 of the Convention, the State asserted that: a) the right to “believe” that its laws are compatible with the principles of the Convention and the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court, and hence not to comply with a report that it considers wrong, does not constitute a violation of the Convention; and b) once the Commission submits the case to the Court, there can be no violation of the Convention for failure to comply with the recommendations made in the Commission’s report.
