care centers and for as long as it may be necessary, as from the date notice of the
instant Judgment be served. Said treatments shall be free of charge and shall

Education Program
144. This Court finds that sufficient evidence has been submitted (supra para.
54(23)) proving that the events in the instant case impaired the life projects of the
victim’s siblings who were minors, whose future became uncertain. After the
disappearance of Mr. Gómez-Palomino, all of them had to quit their studies, due not
only to financial reasons, but also, as pointed out by expert witness María del Pilar
Raffo-Lavalle de Quiñones (supra para. 48(c)), to emotional factors such as
depression, concern and sadness.
145. Therefore, this Court orders, as a measure of satisfaction, that the State
shall provide all material resources necessary so that Emiliano, Mónica, Rosa and
Margarita, all of them bearing the surname of Palomino-Buitrón, may participate ―if
they so desire― in special education programs for adults that may enable them to
finish primary and secondary school, as the case may be. Such education programs
shall be developed during adequate times, so as not to interfere, as far as possible,
with the working activities of the beneficiaries.
146. The Court takes into account that serious violations of human rights as that
at issue in the instant case, leave lingering after-effects on the victims and next of
kin directly harmed, which also affect the new generations. Thus, the predicament
of the current generations, directly affected by the violation of their human rights,
affects future generations in different ways. In order to achieve an integral
reparation in the light of the particular circumstances of the instant case, the Court
decides that, if the siblings of Mr. Gómez-Palomino mentioned above do not desire
to personally avail themselves of the education measures of reparation hereby
awarded, they will be able to assign such benefits to their children. Then, the
benefit shall be implemented through a grant covering all their primary and
secondary education at a public school in the country. This education grant shall
also be awarded to the children of late Mercedes Palomino-Buitrón, if any.
147. Furthermore, and pursuant to the evidence received in the instant case, the
Court finds that Mrs. Victoria Margarita Palomino-Buitrón, due to her illiteracy,
required the assistance of her daughters in order to carry out the necessary actions
before governmental authorities in search of her son. This situation increased her
sufferings during the search conducted and, at present, it also impairs her access to
justice. Consequently, this Court orders the State to grant Mrs. Victoria Margarita
Palomino-Buitrón all necessary resources so that, if she so desires, she may
participate in a literacy program implemented by the corresponding public education
entities, taking into account that she is bilingual, in Spanish and Quechua.
148. Moreover, the State must award, as a measure of satisfaction, a grant to the
girl Ana María Gómez-Guevara, so that she may complete her education at the
public secondary school she may choose. If she wants to continue and obtain a
higher education, either at technical schools or at the university, the State shall
