Based on the foregoing, though it positively values the recent investigative phase of the State, the Tribunal observes that the domestic procedures and proceedings have not constituted effective recourse to ensure the access to justice, to an investigation and the punishment of the responsible as well as recourse to repair the consequences of the violations committed. Based on the foregoing considerations and taken into account the partial confession made by the State, the Court concludes that Colombia violated the rights established in Articles 8(1) and 25 of the American Convention to the detriment of Mr. Germán Escué Zapata and his next of kin, Mr. Etelvina Zapata Escué, Myriam Zapata Escué, Bertha Escuñe Coicue and Francya Doli Escué Zapata and Mr. Mario Pasu, Aldemar Escué Zapata, Yonson Escué Zapata, Ayénder Escué Zapata, Omar Zapata and Albeiro Pasu.

Finally, in its final written arguments, the Commission pointed out that the Office of the Attorney General would not have investigated "the destruction and the plundering of the communal store," but it did not allege a violation of Article 21 of the Convention. 114. The State denied these charges and mentioned that there is no evidence that proves there was a “misappropriation of goods in the residence […] or some place else.” Furthermore, it sustained that the alleged theft of goods from the communal store is a new fact which was not asserted in the Commission's application. 115. As to the alleged violation of the right to property with respect to the facts occurred in the residence, the Court notes that these facts were not alleged by the Commission in its application.
