that the necessary actions to identify the remains found in the clandestine graves have been
taken. There is no evidence either that the State has taken further actions to search for
and, in turn, identify the remains of the above-mentioned disappeared victims.
231. The right of the next of kin to know the location of the mortal remains of the
victims182 is in itself a measure of reparation and gives rise to expectations that must be
fulfilled by the State.183 Furthermore, the Court has sustained that mortal remains deserve
to be duly respected for the special relevance that the victims bear to their next of kin.184
232. The Court considers that the State must search for and locate the mortal remains of
Hugo Muñoz-Sánchez, Dora Oyague-Fierro, Marcelino Rosales-Cárdenas, Armando Richard
Amaro-Cóndor, Robert Edgar Teodoro-Espinoza, Heráclides Pablo-Meza, Juan Gabriel
Mariños-Figueroa and Felipe Flores-Chipana, by means of the identification of the other
remains found at Cieneguilla and Huachipa, or by taking any action necessary to that effect
either in those places or in any location where said remains are thought to be. Should the
remains of the victims be found, the State must deliver them without delay to their next of
kin, prior genetic parentage evaluation thereof. The State must also bear any burial
expenses, as agreed with the victims' next of kin.
c)
Public acknowledgement of liability
233. This Court considers approvingly that in the month of June of the current year, the
President of the Republic apologized to the authorities of the University of La Cantuta during
a ceremony where he was awarded a decoration by the University (supra para. 197(c)).
234. Furthermore, the Court has as well approvingly assessed the acknowledgement and
acquiescence made by the State in the instant case, and the presentation made by the
President of the Republic which was read out by the state Agent during the public hearing
held in the month of September of the current year (supra paras. 43 and 56).
235. However, in order for the acknowledgement made by Perú and the rulings of this
Court to be fully effective as a measure of reparation to the memory of Hugo MuñozSánchez, Dora Oyague-Fierro, Marcelino Rosales-Cárdenas, Bertila Lozano-Torres, Luis
Enrique Ortiz-Perea, Armando Richard Amaro-Cóndor, Robert Edgar Teodoro-Espinoza,
Heráclides Pablo-Meza, Juan Gabriel Mariños-Figueroa and Felipe Flores Chipana and to be
deemed a non repetition guarantee, the Court finds that the State must make a public
acknowledgement of liability for the forced disappearance or extra-legal execution of the
victims. That public acknowledgement must be made in the presence of the relatives of the
aforementioned victims and must count on the participation of the State’s highest-ranking
authorities. Said public act must be performed within six months following notice of this
Judgment.
