97 a) b) c) d) e) f) g) h) i) they had received a power-of-attorney from four of the next of kin of the alleged victims who had not been included in the Commission’s application; securing justice is the most important reparation measure. Accordingly, in the course of the investigations and court proceedings currently in progress or to be undertaken domestically, the competent authorities should refrain from relying on concepts such as the statute of limitations on criminal actions, applying amnesty orders favoring the defendants, and wrongfully applying the res judicata principle and the double jeopardy safeguard for the benefit of those who were under investigation by the Supreme Council of Military Justice; even though Perú is the one State that is directly bound by its obligation to investigate, and prosecute and impose punishment for, the facts of the instant case, the other State Parties to the American Convention are also under a duty, in their very capacity as such, to take all measures required in order to guarantee that the violations of human rights do not go unpunished, and that their investigation, prosecution and punishment take place in line with the Inter-American standards. In the instant case, one of the guilty parties is former President Fujimori, who is currently a fugitive and whose extradition from Chile has already been requested by Perú but is still pending. Since this issue is closely connected to the case, they asked the Court to lay down standards based on the developments made in the fields of international human rights law and international criminal law. Specifically, they requested that the Court lay down standards on the manner in which the State Parties to Inter-American treaties are to fulfill their obligation to prosecute for and punish serious human rights violations where the defendants are outside the jurisdiction of the State that is required to carry out the investigation; the search for and subsequent examination of the remains of those alleged victims that still remain missing needs to be performed by professional forensic anthropologists specializing in the exhumation of bodies and human remains; the act of public acknowledgement of international liability is to be presided over by the President, and express reference is to be made to the fact that the victims were in no way involved in the Tarata street attack of July 16, 1992 or in any other terrorist action; the State is to provide medical and psychological treatment to the alleged victims’ next of kin for as long as such treatment may be required; in assessing pecuniary damages, regard should be had to the fact that the State did deposit three million New Soles in the name of the legal heirs of the victims in this case; in assessing consequential damages, due account should also be taken of the fact that the action undertaken to obtain justice has taken up a large part of the lives of Gisela Ortiz-Perea, Antonia Pérez-Velásquez, Raida Cóndor, and Dina Flormelania Pablo-Mateo; and in assessing lost earnings, the Court should allow for the fact that nine of the alleged victims were students who, in about two years’ time, would have probably entered the job market. Furthermore, Mr. Hugo Muñoz-Sánchez was a Professor at La Cantuta. In the aggregate, they requested that the Court order the State to pay compensation for lost earnings in the amount of US$ 408,136.10145. 196. Lastly, the representatives requested that the Court order the State to reimburse APRODEH for the costs and expenses incurred since 1992, both at the local level and before
