CONCURRING OPINION OF JUDGE EDUARDO VIO GROSSI
WITH THE
ORDER OF THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS
OF NOVEMBER 18, 2010,
CASE OF BÁCAMA VELÁSQUEZ V. GUATEMALA,
MONITORING COMPLIANCE WITH JUDGMENT
With my vote I concur with the approval of the Order mentioned in the
title (hereinafter “the Order”); however, I consider it convenient to add
some comments on the aspects involved thereof, which I indicate below.
1.- The information set forth in section A) 1. of the Order1 is, in light of
International Law and, therefore, for the Court, is nothing more than
facts that prove that the State has not yet complied with the obligation
to investigate the ordered by the Judgment in this case, which, is
specifically evident in the grounds offered by the State when requesting
that the Court “issue the corresponding ruling with regard to the order
issued by (its) Constitutional Court,��� “to expand the criterion relating to
the spirit of the” mentioned judgment of orders, “since with (its) ruling,
the State of Guatemala is able to comply” with the latter.2
2.- It is important to state that, at present, according to the information
found in the dossier,3 the domestic judicial act that definitively decreed
the non-compliance with the Judgment of the present case, was a
decision made by the Supreme Court of the State, although it must be
stated that, with this, it complied with that ordered by the
Constitutionality Court of the State in the processing an amparo
recourse and thus appropriated the rulings of the Constitutionality
Court. Therefore, currently, it is that decision that compromises the
State’s international responsibility for said non-compliance and
reference should therefore be made to Constitutionality Court’s decision
in order to determine responsibility.
