45 perpetrators of his father's death were “the paramilitaries or UNASE”; also, that he had heard from various people: (a) that the van into which they forced his son-in-law when he disappeared belonged to Mr. RP, and (b) that Mr. RP had the intention of “taking” Mr. Omeara Miraval due to his investigations in connection with his father's death. Specifically, Mr. Álvarez Sánchez stated the following: ASKED: State if OMEARA MIRAVAL had done any important research on the perpetrators of his father's death and if he told you or someone else. ANSWER: [He] had told me that it was the Paramilitaries or the UNASE, but he told me that it seemed that they were the paramilitaries […] a lady confirmed that a blue truck was parked early in the day in a very bad spot there on a bridge [passed] that way but surely they took him [Mr. Omeara Miraval] in the car, because it was the motorcycle that another man was driving, she gave a version that it was a blue 350 car with a black top […] in the town of San Martín they say that the Toyota truck […] is the one carries the people there who say they are paramilitaries and are commanded by a RP and a brother of his who they say is [JP,] at [the last minute] went on [and] told me that Mr. RP wanted to take GUILLERMO the other day, because he was investigating what happened to his father, but that they had persuaded him because they had told him that he was a good kid.175 183. Thirdly, this Court verifies the testimony of Elva María Solano de Álvarez, who indicated that the phrase that Mr. Álvarez Sánchez said when he signed the statement was “that he had signed his death sentence.”176 Her version was corroborated before this Court by Miguel Ángel Álvarez Solano, who stated on the matter that Mr. Álvarez Sánchez, at the moment of giving the statement “with tears and a broken voice, said [to Mrs. Solano] 'I know that I am signing my death sentence”177; Similarly, Clemencia Patricia Álvarez Solano stated that “[o]n signing his statement [her] father comment[ed] in the presence of the prosecutors that he hoped he had not signed his death sentence and the prosecutor kept silent and did not say anything”.178 Héctor Manuel Héctor Manuel Álvarez Solano and Fabiola Álvarez Solano gave similar statements.179 184. The Court notes that there is no dispute that Mr. Álvarez Sánchez was left quadriplegic as a result of the attack he suffered, and that as a result of this condition “all movement and everything was frozen.” It is also a proven fact that Mr. Álvarez Sánchez died on May 11, 2000, that is, five years and seven months after the attack. From which it is evident that the personal integrity of Mr. Álvarez Sánchez was affected as a result of the attack of which he was a victim. 185. In relation to the argument as to whether the attack against Mr. Álvarez Sánchez constituted a violation of the right to life, the Court considers that although it is elementary that the result of death attributable to a State violates the duty to respect the human right to life, it also understands that the death of the victim is not the only form of violation of this right. Indeed, all comparative law recognizes that the right to life is also affected by danger. In international human rights law, not every possible or presumptive danger is relevant as a Statement of Héctor Álvarez Sánchez, supra. Proceedings to amend the statement of Elva María Solano de Álvarez of April 3, 2013, supra. 177 Statement by Miguel Ángel Álvarez Solano given by affidavit submitted to the Court (evidence file, affidavits and expert opinions, fs. 1238 to 1241). 178 Statement of Clemencia Patricia Álvarez Solano rendered by affidavit, supra. 179 In this regard, Héctor Manuel Álvarez Solano stated the following: "In the presence of the prosecutor who took the case, [his] father told him: I am signing my death sentence." Statement by Héctor Manuel Álvarez Solano given by affidavit presented to the Court (evidence file, affidavits and expert opinions, fs. 12028 to 12032). Similarly, Fabiola Álvarez Solano stated that “[a]fter the disappearance of [her] husband[,] [her] father Héctor Álvarez Sánchez was summoned […] to make a statement of what he knew of the facts, and at the end of the statement in the dining room of the house, he told the prosecutor that he was signing his death sentence and agreed with them to continue making inquiries about the atrocities that the paramilitaries were committing in the south of Cesar and despite this they did not provide him the protection that was required at that time.” Statement by Fabiola Álvarez Solano given by affidavit, supra. 175 176
