26 103. In the instant case, the Commission alleged that the State “failed in its obligation to guarantee the right to life which arises from Article 4(1) in relation to Article 1(1) of the Convention […] due to its failure to investigate and punish the masterminds and perpetrators of the execution.” 104. With respect to compliance with this obligation to investigate, it is important to emphasize that the State admitted that it was “[…] undeniable that there has been very little progress in the investigation into the murders during the past 17 years; during this time, the results of the investigations by both the Police and the Attorney General’s Office have been unsuccessful.” 105. The assessment of the obligation to guarantee the right to life, humane treatment, and personal liberty in this case, by conducting a genuine, complete and effective investigation into the events, is made in Chapter IX of this judgment. To determine the violation of Articles 4, 5 and 7 of the Convention, in relation to Article 1(1) thereof, it is sufficient to indicate that, in this case, the State has not guaranteed the said rights. * * * 106. Based on the above, the Court declares that Peru has violated the rights to personal liberty, humane treatment, and life owing to its failure to comply with its obligation to respect and guarantee rights embodied, respectively, in Articles 7, 5(1) and 5(2), and 4 of the American Convention, in relation to Article 1(1) thereof, to the detriment of Saúl Isaac Cantoral-Huamaní and Consuelo Trinidad García-Santa Cruz.
