11 keep the Court informed of the measures it is taking to comply with each one of the measures of reparation the Court orders is essential in order to assess the status of compliance with the case as a whole. * * * 8. In monitoring for full compliance with the Judgments on merits and reparations delivered in this case and after examining the information provided by the State, by the Inter-American Commission and by the representatives of the victims and their next of kin in their briefs on compliance with the reparations (supra Having Seen 4, 5, 6 and 7), the Court has confirmed that Peru has complied with the commitment to begin the “procedure to sign and promote ratification of the International Convention on the Non-applicability of Statutory Limitations to War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity” (operative paragraph 5(c)) of the November 30, 2001 Judgment on reparations).

In its report the State wrote that the payments to the beneficiaries of the victims were pending, beneficiaries who had established their kinship incontrovertibly. The Court finds that the information supplied by the representatives (supra Having Seen 6(b)) is somewhat confusing, i.e., that the State had supposedly told them that it “[could not] comply with the [respective] payment for fear of someone filing suit thereafter”; c) the payment of the compensation ordered for Mr. Martín León Lunazco, son of victim Máximo León León (operative paragraph 2(c)) of the November 30, 2001 Judgment on reparations).
