proceedings No. 859-92. The IACHR finds no documents in the judicial case file indicating the
performance of that formality or of any other until January 18, 1995. On that date, a second auditor’s
ruling was adopted, in favor of the dismissal of the proceedings on the grounds that “the committal phase
has not proven the existence of the alleged crimes; that Lt. Tello Delgado acted in accordance with his
100
service duties […] the record contains no reliable proof of that the crimes examined were committed…”

On February 7, 1995, the Permanent Court-Martial ordered the dismissal of the
101
proceedings and their referral to the military prosecutor, who issued prosecutorial opinion No. 119-95
on April 19, 1995, stating that “the non-commission [of the alleged crime] and the absence of
102
responsibility of the accused have been proven […].” Following the referral of the proceedings to the
Supreme Military Justice Council, it adopted a final decision on February 7, 1996, confirming the deed of
103
dismissal and ordering the proceedings sent to the archive.
