On May 31, 1996, the Asociación Pro Búsqueda presented several cases of disappeared children, including that of Emelinda Lorena Hernández, to the Office of the Human Rights 92 Ombudsperson. 116. On September 7, 2004, the Office of the Human Rights Ombudsperson issued a report on Ernestina and Erlinda Serrano Cruz, and in that report detailed the case of Emelinda Lorena Hernández, recommending that the Office of the Attorney General of the Republic investigate the 93 disappearances of 136 cases of children still unresolved. This report was transmitted to the President of the Republic, the Attorney General of the Republic, the Public Advocate of the Republic, the 94 Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice, and the Minister of National Defense. b. Habeas corpus proceeding 117. On November 15, 2002, Ms. María Adela Hernández filed a writ of habeas corpus with the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice for the disappearance of her daughter 95 Emelinda Lorena Hernández. 118. The brief for this writ of habeas corpus described the facts surrounding the disappearance of Emelinda Lorena Hernández; her birth certificate was attached; and the witness statement of Dominga Martínez was offered. Ms. Martínez observed several children being transported 96 by soldiers. 119. After the writ was filed, an executing judge was appointed to expedite the process. 120. This judge reported that “according to the information provided by the department of Human Rights of the Ministry of Defense, there is no file on Emelinda Lorena Hernández” and, therefore, 97 there is no violation of Article 11(1) of the Constitution. 121. The information available indicates that the executing judge did not take other steps and that the testimony offered was not heard. 122. By resolution of March 3, 2003, notice of which was given on March 11, 2003, the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the habeas corpus proceeding. The resolution indicates that no minimum indicium was produced to generate the conviction that a disappearance occurred. The Chamber also held that this judgment is not res judicata, and therefore if 98 new information is produced, it is possible to file a new writ of habeas corpus. 92 Annex xx.
