As regards the request by the representatives of the next of kin of the victims and of the Commission for Colombia to carry out symbolic acts as measures of nonrecidivism and satisfaction, this Court deems that acknowledgment of responsibility by the State is a positive contribution to the development of these proceedings and to effectiveness of the principles that inspire the American Convention.85 Taking into account the acknowledgment of responsibility by the State in connection with this specific request, the instant Judgment is per se a form of reparation and satisfaction for the next of kin of the victims. 75.
