106 228. Based on the above considerations, it is the Court’s conclusion that the State violated Articles 7(1), 7(2), 7(3), 7(4), 7(5), 8(2) and 8(2)(b) of the American Convention, to the detriment of Mr. Humberto Antonio Palamara-Iribarne, and has failed to comply with its general obligation to respect and ensure the exercise of rights and freedoms under Article 1(1) of the Convention.
