concerning the nature and scope of the obligation to make reparation, in order to establish
measures to redress the harm caused.437
A.
Injured party
270. This Court considers that, pursuant to Article 63(1) of the Convention, anyone who has
been declared a victim of the violation of any right recognized therein is the injured party.
Therefore, the Court considers that Manuela, her mother, her father and her two sons are the
“injured party” and, as victims of the violations declared in Chapter VIII, they will be
considered beneficiaries of the reparations ordered by the Court.
B.
Measures of satisfaction

Publication of the judgment

of the judgment “in the Official Gazette, and a national newspaper with widespread circulation,
and on the websites of the Attorney General’s Office, the Public Defenders’ Unit of the Attorney
General’s Office, the Ministry of Education, the Human Rights Council of the Presidency, the
Ministry of Justice and Public Security, the General Directorate of Prisons, and the Ministry of
Public Health.” They also asked that the State translate the content of the judgment “into an
easy-to-read format to allow it to be understood by Manuela’s family and others who do not
have access to formal education.
272. The State indicated its willingness to publish the official summary of the judgment “in
the Official Gazette and in a national newspaper, as well as on the institutional websites of
the domestic institutions directly linked to the facts of the case within the framework of

273. The Court establishes, as it has in other cases,438 that the State must publish, within six
months of notification of the judgment: (a) the official summary of the judgment prepared by
the Court, once, in the Official Gazette and in a national newspaper with widespread
circulation, in an adequate and legible font, and (b) this judgment in its entirety, available for
at least one year, on the official websites of the Attorney General’s Office, the Public
Defenders’ Unit of the Attorney General’s Office, the Ministry of Education, the Human Rights
Council of the Presidency, the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, the General Directorate
of Prisons, and the Ministry of Public Health, in a manner that is accessible to the public from
the initial page of the websites.
274. The State must advise the Court immediately it has made each of the publications
ordered, regardless of the one-year time frame for presenting its first report established in
the operative paragraphs of this judgment.
B.2
Public act to acknowledge international responsibility
275. The representatives asked that the State “organize a public act to acknowledge
international responsibility and make a public apology in relation to the facts of this case.”
