Nevertheless, the Court observes with concern that Gregoria Herminia Recinos
Contreras has only been able to have access to medical care on the occasion of a visit to El
Salvador, and that the parties have referred to her need to receive dental treatment. In this
regard, the Court appreciates the coordination measures taken by the State under the
agreement with the Universidad de El Salvador and the Universidad de San Carlos de
Guatemala in order carry out the victims’ dental treatment in the Republic of Guatemala.
Despite this, and taking into account the observation of the representatives that it has still
not been possible to implement the victim’s wish to return to El Salvador, the Court
considers it necessary that the State deliver to the victim, as established in paragraph 201
of the Judgment, the sum of US$7,500.00 (seven thousand five hundred United States
dollars) to cover the costs of the medical and psychological or psychiatric treatment, as well
as the medicines and related expenses, in her actual country of residence, without prejudice
to being treated by the public health authorities following her return to El Salvador.

Based on the above, the Court will continue monitoring compliance with this measure
of reparation and awaits updated information from the State.

The State advised that, on March 29, 2012, the “National Day of the Children
Disappeared during the Armed Conflict,” it made the publication ordered in a supplement of
a national newspaper, as well as in the Official Gazette. In addition, the official summary of
the judgment has been available in the format of a digital file on the website of the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs of El Salvador since April 18, 2012, and the publication of the complete
judgment has been available since September 2012 on the official website of the National
Search Commission. The State also indicated that, in Note No. 1210 of March 23, 2012,
instructions were imparted to the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces, as well as to the
different branches and units that provide institutional support, that officers, noncommissioned officers and soldiers should be informed of the official summary of the
judgment, and that it should be published before April 6, 2012. This was done within the
established time frame.

The representatives indicated that the margins of the supplement to the national
newspaper with widespread circulation were incomplete and it was not possible to identify
the newspaper in which it was published. Consequently, they could not refer to this measure
until they had all the information, and were therefore waiting for the State to forward a
complete version of the said supplement, which would allow them to determine the
newspaper in which the publication had been made. Nevertheless, they acknowledged the
information provided by the State regarding the publication of the official summary of the
Judgment on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as of April 18, 2012, and the
publication of the complete Judgment on the website of the National Search Commission
since September 2012. Regarding the State’s obligation to publish the official summary of
the Judgment in an internal bulletin of the Armed Forces of El Salvador, they asked the
Court to require the State the present the following documents. Note No. 1210, the
document in which the said summary was published, and the note in which the Vice Minister
advised that the measure had been complied with. Consequently, they asked the Court to
consider that this measure of reparation had been fulfilled, when the State had forwarded
the required documents.

La Commission observed that the State had published the official summary of the
Judgment in the Official Gazette of El Salvador, in La Prensa Gráfica and on at least one
official website and, to enable the Court to consider that this obligation had been complied
