Based on the analysis and conclusions of this report:
THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS RECOMMENDS TO THE ARGENTINE
STATE:
1.
To conduct and carry out, effectively and within a reasonable time, the investigation of the facts of the
case, in order to prosecute and punish all the material and intellectual authors responsible for the serious
human rights violations declared in the present report. In particular, the State must continue the judicial
investigations to clarify the attack on the AMIA headquarters and punish all its material and intellectual
authors, as well as those who have obstructed or covered up the investigations. In order to verify the progress,
the State must resume the practice of periodically publishing the UFI-AMIA management reports. Likewise,
they must hold regular meetings with the family members in order to provide them with information on the
progress of the investigations.
2.
To make adequate reparation for all the human rights violations identified to the detriment of the victims
in this report, both materially and immaterially. This reparation must include measures of pecuniary
compensation and satisfaction to repair both material and moral damage. Among the measures of satisfaction
that must be carried out with the participation of the petitioners, the victims and the next of kin are: i) an act
of public apology for all the victims of the attack; ii) the holding of commemorative events that contribute to
preserving the truth and memory in relation to the AMIA attack as a fundamental step towards the dignity of
the mortal victims and their families; iii) the production of an audiovisual documentary on the facts of this case,
its victims, and the search for justice for their next of kin.
3.
To adopt and implement the policies and measures necessary to establish a mechanism for the
management and accountability of the secret budget items assigned to the intelligence agencies of the
Argentine State. Said actions must pursue the objective of guaranteeing the adequate registration of such funds,
the legality of their exercise, and their timely and external control.
4.
Design and implement education and training programs aimed at all members of the federal security
and intelligence bodies, as well as the members of the Judicial Branch of the Nation, which aim to strengthen
their capacities to prevent and investigate complex crimes related to the fight against terrorism. Likewise,
disseminate the basic principles and norms for the protection of human rights, with special emphasis on the
protection of fundamental freedoms and guarantees of due process in the context of the fight against terrorism.
5.
Adopt measures so that the judges and prosecutors in charge of the investigations related to the attack
on the AMIA can have all the relevant information to know the truth and prosecute and punish those
responsible, even if the information is subject to any type of reservation or state secret. Likewise, ensure that
the petitioners and the victims of the attack can access the information that is linked to the case. In both cases,
the appropriate measures must be implemented so that all the information in the possession of the State
regarding the attack on the AMIA is duly protected and preserved.
6.
Adopt and implement measures to strengthen the capacities of the State in the prevention of
discriminatory acts that could configure terrorist attacks. Likewise, ensure that public apologies and training
programs for State authorities, referred to in previous recommendations, include the component regarding
violations of the right to equality and non-discrimination in this report.
