30 to determine Jeremías Osorio’s whereabouts, establish the facts, punish the guilty, and provide other pertinent measures of redress; as a result, the forced disappearance remains in total impunity. Accordingly, and on the basis of the analysis in this section, the IACHR concludes the Peruvian State did fail to meet its obligations of respecting and ensuring the rights enshrined in Articles 3, 4.1, 5.1, 5.2, and 7 of the American Convention, in conjunction with Article 1.1 thereof, and that it also did violate Article I.a of the IACFDP, all with respect to Jeremías Osorio Rivera. 2. 119. Right to a fair trial and judicial protection (Articles 8.1 and 25.1 of the American Convention on Human Rights), in conjunction with the obligation of ensuring human rights and domestic legal effects (Articles 1.1 and 2 thereof), and Article I.b of the Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappearance of Persons The articles of the American Convention cited in the section heading read as follows: Article 8. Right to a Fair Trial 1. Every person has the right to a hearing, with due guarantees and within a reasonable time, by a competent, independent, and impartial tribunal, previously established by law, in the substantiation of any accusation of a criminal nature made against him or for the determination of his rights and obligations of a civil, labor, fiscal, or any other nature. Article 25. Judicial Protection 1. Everyone has the right to simple and prompt recourse, or any other effective recourse, to a competent court or tribunal for protection against acts that violate his fundamental rights recognized by the constitution or laws of the state concerned or by this Convention, even though such violation may have been committed by persons acting in the course of their official duties. Article 1. Obligation to Respect Rights 1. The States Parties to this Convention undertake to respect the rights and freedoms recognized herein and to ensure to all persons subject to their jurisdiction the free and full exercise of those rights and freedoms, without any discrimination for reasons of race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, economic status, birth, or any other social condition. Article 2. Domestic Legal Effects Where the exercise of any of the rights or freedoms referred to in Article 1 is not already ensured by legislative or other provisions, the States Parties undertake to adopt, in accordance with their constitutional processes and the provisions of this Convention, such legislative or other measures as may be necessary to give effect to those rights or freedoms. 120. Article I.b of the Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappearance of Persons provides that the states parties thereto shall “punish within their jurisdictions, those persons who commit or attempt to commit the crime of forced disappearance of persons and their accomplices and accessories.” 121. The Inter-American Court has addressed the substance of the right to know the truth in its case law, particularly in forced disappearance cases. In Velásquez Rodríguez, the Court ruled that the State was obliged to “inform the relatives of the fate of the victims and, if they have been killed, the 148 location of their remains.” In cases of this kind, the relatives of the disappeared are victims of the acts that constitute forced disappearance, as a result of which they are entitled to have such incidents 149 investigated and to see the guilty prosecuted and, if applicable, punished. The Court has recognized 148 I/A Court H. R., Case of Velásquez Rodríguez v. Honduras, Merits, Judgment of July 29, 1988, Series C No. 4, para. 149 I/A Court H. R., Case of Blake v. Guatemala, Judgment of January 24, 1998, Series C No. 36, para. 97. 181.
