72 place and date.299 In addition, the State must cover the transportation costs of the next of kin and disseminate the act through the media.300 The State must do this within one year of notification of this judgment. c) Designation of schools with the names of the victims 207. The representatives asked the Court to order the State to name a school in each place where the forced disappearances occurred after the victims in this case, to be agreed on with the victims and their next of kin; with a plaque on which the victims’ names appear together with an acknowledgment that they were forcibly disappeared by State agents. The representatives requested that this plaque be unveiled in the presence of the victims’ next of kin. The State agreed to name a school after the victims in each place where the disappearances occurred or in any other place with symbolic relevance acceptable to the victims and their representatives. 208. The Court assesses positively the State’s willingness to comply with the reparations requested by the representatives concerning this aspect of the judgment. In the instant case, the State has acknowledged the existence of a systematic pattern of forced disappearance of children that was perpetrated in the context of the Salvadoran internal armed conflict, within the framework of which the forced disappearances of José Rubén Rivera Rivera, Ana Julia and Carmelina Mejía Ramírez, and Gregoria Herminia, Serapio Cristian and Julia Inés Contreras took place. In this regard, given the circumstances of the case, the Court finds it important to name three schools, one for each family group: one with the name of Gregoria Herminia, Serapio Cristian and Julia Inés Contreras, another with the name of Ana Julia and Carmelina Mejía Ramírez, and a third with the name of José Rubén Rivera Rivera, in each place where the forced disappearance took place or in another nearby place with symbolic relevance, following the agreement of the victims and their representatives. A plaque must be placed within these schools with the names of the then children and an acknowledgment that they were forcibly disappeared by members of the Salvadoran Armed Forces. The plaques must be unveiled in the presence of the respective victims. The content of the plaques must be agreed upon previously with the victims and their representatives. The State has two years from notification of this judgment to implement these measures. d) Preparation, distribution and transmission of an audiovisual documentary 209. The representatives considered it crucial that the State transmit a video in the media with the most extensive national coverage, and on the Internet, informing society about the modus operandi of the Armed Forces in the forced disappearance of children during the conflict, to include a segment in which the State’s willingness to guarantee the nonrepetition of the facts is reiterated, whose content must receive the prior consent of the victims and their representatives, and which must be transmitted monthly on three separate occasions, on the channel and at prime time. The documentary must also be placed on the web page of the search for disappeared children. The State agreed to produce a video on the forced disappearances of children during the armed conflict, the substance of which would include the contents of the judgments that the Court has handed down in relation to the 299 Cf.
