232. The Commission notes that the displacement and state of defenselessness came about in spite of express requests from authorities to protect the family. For example, the Ombudsman said that these people had actively participated in the search for Manuel Guillermo Omeara and he asked the military mayor of Aguachica to provide them with the necessary protection. However, there is nothing in the record to suggest that such measures were implemented. In addition, the record shows that on August 9, 1995, the Regional Prosecutor in charge of the criminal investigation opened into the kidnapping of Manuel Guillermo Omeara Miraval ordered that "appropriate measures be taken as soon as possible in order to provide effective protection of the physical integrity of members of the OMEARA and ÁLVAREZ families living in Aguachica (Cesar)". However, there is nothing in the record to suggest that the victim received any kind of protection as a result of that request either. 233. In light of the foregoing, the Commission finds that: (i) The State created the conditions of risk to the victims; (ii) it was aware of that situation of risk which, in turn, led to their forced displacement; (iii) it adopted no measures for their protection, not even for the children of Guilermo Omeara for whom it may be reasonably assumed that the displacement had aggravated consequences by reason of their condition is minors. 234. The Commission also deems it necessary to point out that acts of violence against three members of the same family inevitably have an impact on life plans at both the individual and the family level. Consequently, the Commission considers that in the particular circumstances of this case, there has been a separate violation of the rights of the family enshrined in Article 17 of the Convention. In conclusion, the Commission finds that the State violated the right to humane treatment and the rights of the family established in Articles 5 and 17 of the American Convention in connection with the obligations under Article 1(1) thereof, to the detriment of the following children of Noel Emiro Omeara Carrascal, who were, in turn, siblings of Manuel Guillermo Omera Miraval: Carmen Teresa Omeara Miraval; Jaime Omeara Miraval; Luis Enrique Omeara Miraval; Aura Isabel Omeara Miraval; Noel Emiro Omeara Miraval; Araminta Omeara Miraval; Ricaurte Omeara Miraval; Zoila Rosa Omeara Miraval, and María Omeara Miraval; as well as the spouse of Hector Álvarez, Elva María Solano de Álvarez, and their children Judith Álvarez Solano; Miguel Manuel Álvarez Solano; Héctor Manuel Álvarez Solano; Clemencia Patricia Álvarez Solano; Juan Carlos Álvarez Solano and Ana Edith Álvarez de García; and the spouse of Guillermo Omeara, Fabiola Álvarez Solano, and their three children Elba Catherine Omeara Álvarez, Manuel Guillermo Omeara Álvarez, and Claudia Marcela Omeara Álvarez. 235. Furthermore, the State violated the freedom of movement and residence recognized in Article 22(1) of the American Convention, in connection with the obligations set out in Article 1(1) thereof, to the detriment of Carmen Teresa Omeara Miraval; Fabiola Álvarez Solano, and her three children Elba Catherine Omeara Álvarez, Manuel Guillermo Omeara Álvarez and Claudia Marcela Omeara Álvarez; and Carmen Teresa Omeara Miraval. Finally, the Commission concludes that the State violated Article 19 of the American Convention to the detriment of the children of Manuel Guillermo Omeara Miraval. V. CONCLUSIONS 236.
