to the obligations established in Article 1(1) of the same instrument, to the detriment of Fredy

B.3 Reparations
28.
Despite having partially acknowledged its international responsibility, the State requested
that the Court not order reparations. In this sense, this Court notes that the dispute regarding the
measures requested under this title persists, as indicated above, so it will issue a ruling in this
regard in accordance with Article 63 of the American Convention.
B.4 Conclusions: Assessment of partial acknowledgement of responsibility
29.
The Court verifies that the acknowledgement of responsibility made by the State is partial
as it specifically refers to the violations of Articles 8(1) and 25(1) in relation to Article 1(1) of the
American Convention, due to the insufficient actions of the national authorities responsible for
investigating and punishing those responsible for the kidnapping Mr. Núñez Naranjo from the police
station and his subsequent disappearance.
30.
The Court values this admission as it constitutes a positive contribution to the advancement
of this process. In these terms, the partial admission of international responsibility made by the
Ecuadorian State produces full legal effects in accordance with Articles 62 and 64 of the Rules.
