4 measures and the suffering of the indirect victims, the relatives of S.F. GómezPalomino, in view of his forced disappearance, and the right to a fair trial (paras. 145 to 148). 12. As to the proven facts, the Court referred to the “generalized systematic pattern” of forced disappearances of persons in Peru during the 1989-1993 period, as a “mechanism of anti-subversive struggle” (para. 54.1-4). In its Final Report, adopted on August 27, 2003, the Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación del Perú (Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Peru) referred to “reconciliation through education in values" (para. 4.2.7 of the Report), and requested a series of human rights education measures, including establishing "humanistic training courses" to achieve "a more integral training for individuals."8 13. Thus, human rights education measures have a broader scope than that of reparations since they are also preventive measures against violence and abuses against human beings. Today, these measures have gained special relevance in all Latin America: one cannot disregard the fact that education is in the public interest (aimed at reaching the common good) and not simply a commodity left abandoned to the “logic” (or, in fact, lack of logic) of the market (as sadly observed throughout Latin America) and, in the medium and long term, education will be the only way to efficiently face many of the challenges involving the protection of human rights. Antônio Augusto Cançado Trindade Judge Pablo Saavedra-Alessandri Secretary 8 . Final Report of the Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación del Perú (Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Peru), August, 27, 2003, pp 133-134.
