24 VII PROVEN FACTS 79. Examining the evidentiary elements on record in the dossier of the present case, the statements made by the parties, as well as the acknowledgment of international responsibility made by the State, the Court considers as proven the facts detailed below. The majority of the paragraphs included in this section are the facts considered as established by this Tribunal based on the acknowledgment of responsibility made by the State, and that correspond to the facts presented in paragraphs 27 through 106 of the application presented by the Inter-American Commission (supra para. 11). Additionally, the Court has established as proven a series of other facts, mainly regarding the criminal proceeding, pursuant to the evidence presented by the Commission, the representatives, and the State. A) Context of violence against children and youngsters in Honduras: extrajudicial killings and impunity 79(1) At the beginning of the nineties, and within the framework of the state’s response of preventive and armed repression of young gangs, a context of violence that is currently marked by the victimization of children and youngsters in a situation of social risk, identified as young delinquents that cause the increase in public insecurity, appeared. The deaths of youngsters identified as involved with “maras” or young gangs became more frequent every day between 1995 and 1997. Thus, for example, 904 minors died violently between the years of 1995 and 2002.17 79(2) That context of violence is materialized in the extrajudicial killings of children and youngsters in risky situations, both by state agents as well as by individual third parties. In this last case, the violence occurs, among others, within the young gangs or between rival gags or as a consequence of the action of alleged clandestine groups of social cleaning.18 17 Cfr.
