16 determine whether the violation is the result of a State's failure to fulfill its duty to respect and guarantee those rights, as required by Article 1(1) of the Convention. (Velásquez Rodríguez Case, supra 49, para. 173; Godínez Cruz Case, supra 49, para. 183.) The circumstances surrounding this case make it impossible to establish the responsibility of the State in the terms described above because, among other things, the Court is fixing responsibility for illegal detention by inference but not because it has been proved that the detention was indeed illegal or arbitrary or that the detainee was tortured. And the Court so finds. IX 63. Finally, the Commission also charged an alleged violation of Articles 2 and 25 of the Convention, in the following terms: The case of Mr. Gangaram Panday shows that in Suriname the exercise of the rights and freedoms mentioned in the Convention is not guaranteed when the violations are committed by military personnel.

(Underlined by the Court) b. That Mrs. Dropatie Sewcharan, the victim's widow, filed a complaint regarding the events referred to in this record with the Attorney General of the Court of Justice in Paramaribo, on November 11, 1988. c. That in his deposition before the Court the victim's brother, Leo Gangaram Panday, replied as follows to the question, "[h]ave you experienced lack of cooperation by the authorities of Suriname in your efforts to obtain justice?": "I left everything in the hands of my lawyer." And, later, when questioned whether, "[i]t has been possible to obtain
