6 representatives once again to forward the remaining documents, requested inn order to facilitate adjudication of the case (supra para. 17). Neither the State nor the representatives filed the documents required. 22. On October 6 and 7, 2005 the representatives and the Inter-American Commission each filed their final written arguments on the merits and possibly reparations and costs. 23. On November 11, 2005 the State filed a brief containing “some considerations to facilitate adjudication of the case”, in connection with the instant case. In such respect, the Court observes that in accordance with the Order of the President of August 19, 2005 (supra para. 18), the non-extendable term for the parties to file their final written arguments expired on October 7, 2005. Furthermore, the Tribunal observes that the aforementioned brief, which the State calls “considerations to facilitate adjudication of the case”, is no part of the procedure before this Tribunal under its Rules of Procedure. Indeed, after the term for filing the final written arguments has expired and once the proceedings are ready for a Judgment to be handed down, the Rules of Procedure do not countenance the performance of any other procedural acts aimed at advancing arguments. In view of the foregoing, the Court rejects the brief filed by Peru on November 11, 2005. V PRELIMINARY CONSIDERATIONS (ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY) 24. Hereinafter, the Court will proceed to determine the scope of the acknowledgment of international responsibility carried out by the State (supra paras. 12 and 14). 25. Article 38(2) of the Rules of Procedure provides that [i]n its answer, the respondent must state whether it accepts the facts and claims or whether it contradicts them, and the Court may consider accepted those facts that have not been expressly denied and the claims that have not been expressly contested. 26. Article 53(2) of the Rules of Procedure provides that [i]f the respondent informs the Court of its acquiescence to the claims of the party that has brought the case as well as to the claims of the representatives of the alleged victims, their next of kin or representatives, the Court, after hearing the opinions of the other parties to the case, shall decide whether such acquiescence and its juridical effects are acceptable. In that event, the Court shall determine the appropriate reparations and indemnities
