169. In this case, the Court notes that, despite certain difficulties (supra para. 139), Mrs. Moreno and her representatives have been able to examine the files, maintain contact with the authorities in charge of the investigation, obtain information from them and request them to carry out procedures (supra paras. 56, 75, 81, 83, 86, 87, 90 and 92). 170. As to the alleged failings in the implementation of measures of protection in favor of Yelitze Moreno and her son, from the body of evidence, and from the statements of the parties or the Commission, it does not appear that these impeded or prevented the beneficiaries of the measures of protection from carrying out any action, or that they otherwise affected the course or results of the investigation. 171. Accordingly, the Court considers that in this case the rights to a fair trial and the judicial protection of the alleged victims have not been impaired. Consequently, the Court concludes that Venezuela is not responsible for the violation of such rights established in Articles 8 and 25 of the American Convention. 172. Finally, regarding the alleged violation of the right to know the truth, in accordance with the observations made previously regarding Articles 8 and 25 of the American Convention, the Court considers that it is not appropriate to issue any ruling on this point. VI.3 RIGHTS TO PERSONAL INTEGRITY, TO THE PROTECTION OF HONOR AND DIGNITY, FREEDOM OF THOUGHT AND EXPRESSION AND FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION, IN RELATION TO THE OBLIGATION TO RESPECT RIGHTS A. Right to Personal Integrity (Article 5(1)) Position of the Commission and arguments of the parties 173. The Commission alleged that both Yelitze Moreno and Luis Castillo, as the parents of Mr. Castillo, Yolanda González and Jaime Castillo, and the siblings of the former, Jaime and Julijay, both with the surnames Castillo González, suffered as a result of losing a loved one and over the absence of a full and effective investigation, which caused them suffering and distress at not knowing the truth about what happened. Consequently, it stated that their psychological and moral integrity was affected. Therefore, it asked the Court to declare that the State violated Article 5(1) of the Convention, to the detriment of the persons mentioned. 174. The representatives alleged a violation of Article 5(1) of the Convention, to the detriment of Yelitze Moreno and her son, given the suffering caused by the impunity in relation to the incident which has caused them emotional harm. They further alleged a violation of Article 5(1) of the Convention, in relation to the parents and siblings of Joe Castillo for the psychological and moral harm that they have suffered as a result of his murder, and the additional suffering caused by the actions and omissions of the authorities in the investigation of the crime. They also argued that the personal integrity of Yelitze Moreno and Luis Castillo had been affected by “the lack of measures of prevention” in relation to the attack. 43
