8 16. That, as the Court has indicated in its case law,5 no law or provision of domestic law – including amnesty laws and the statute of limitations – can prevent a State from complying with the requirement of the Court that it investigate and punish those responsible for grave human rights violations. In particular, amnesty provisions, rules concerning the statute of limitations, and the establishment of factors that exclude responsibility intended to impede the investigation and punishment of those responsible for grave human rights violations, are inadmissible, because such violations are contrary to non-derogable rights recognized by international human rights law. 17. That, since the State has not complied with this aspect, the Court will continue to monitor compliance with the judgment. THEREFORE: THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, in exercise of its authority to monitor compliance with its decisions and in accordance with Articles 33, 62(1), 62(3), 65, 67 and 68(1) of the American Convention on Human Rights, 25(1) and 30 of its Statute, and 29(2) of its Rules of Procedure, DECLARES: 1. That the State has complied fully with the payment of interest on arrears in this case. 2. That, if the next of kin of Julio Pastor Ceballos do not claim the amounts deposited in their favor in the corresponding financial institution within ten years, the amounts shall be returned to the State with the accrued interest . 3. That it will continue to monitor compliance with the aspect pending fulfillment in this case, which is: to continue investigating the facts of this case and to punish those who are found responsible. AND DECIDES: 1. To require the State to adopt the necessary measures to comply promptly and effectively with the aspect pending compliance, which the Court ordered in the judgment on reparations of September 14, 1996, in accordance with the provisions of Article 68(1) of the American Convention on Human Rights. 2. To request the State to submit a detailed report by October 2, 2006, at the latest, indicating the status of compliance with the said aspect that is pending fulfillment. 3. To request the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the representatives of the victims and their next of kin to submit their observations on 5 Cf.
