According to the petitioners' July 2011 communication, 25 of the alleged victims signed new employment contracts with the Ministry of Education and six others received compensation.101 The other eight victims would not appear to have received any benefits.102 The IACHR notes that Mr. Manuel Paiba, who is included in this last group of alleged victims, obtained a contract at the Ministry of Education in 2014, outside the scope of Law 27803.103 VI. LEGAL ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION 92. The Commission highlights that the substantial aspect of the analysis focuses on determine whether the alleged victims, after being ceased, had the possibility to access to an adequate and effective judicial remedy in order to challenge their dismissals pursuant to the American Convention’s standards. In that sense, the IACHR will not determine whether the dismissals of the workers were arbitrary; it will analyze the judicial response of the domestic courts against the alleged violations of their rights.
