measures adopted within the general health framework, it is necessary that the State
grant preferential attention to the victims of the present case, including the supply of
medications, in a free, complete, and integral manner. Without doubt the consent and
the cooperation of the beneficiaries of the measures are necessary in order to make
sure that the treatment due to them be provided in an effective manner. For these
effects, it is important that the state authorities continue to have the cooperation of
the representatives in order to achieve the inclusion of the people who are still
missing. The State has promised to guarantee that there will not be any further
interruptions between the diagnosis and treatment phases. Therefore, the State shall

Judgment)

That in what refers to the obligation to carry out the actions necessary to
guarantee the security conditions so that the next of kin of the disappeared persons
and those deprived of their life, as well as other former inhabitants of Pueblo Bello,
who were displaced, may return to that location, if they so wish to do so, the State
indicated that consultation meetings were held with the next of kin of the victims and

with the prior express approval of the victims. It also agreed with the representatives
to summon meetings with the municipal committees of Turbo and the Department of
Antioquia, which are in charge of the execution of the return process, so they could

victims to return to the town.”
