84 bad emotionally. My mother [Ana Carhuapoma de la Cruz] also feels bad emotionally.” 332 In the case of Abilio Hilario Quispe, he stated that he did not know or remember his father and his two brothers, Ramón Hilario Morán, Raúl and Héctor Hilario Guillén, since the events occurred when he was only two years old. In his statement before the Court he said, “[m]y life would have been better if this had not happened. I would have finished my studies, because I was totally abandoned since my father was the one who provided me with food. Because my mother was left alone, I could only study up to fourth grade of elementary school and, then she died [when he was 12 years old], so I’ve had to work since I was very young to survive. My family was separated and I’ve never been able to talk, laugh, play or express my love for my father and my brothers.” 333 280. For her part, Marcelina Guillen Riveros explained in her statement before this Court that “[t]he death of my sister [Dionicia Guillén Riveros] made me very sad […] I never thought I would lose her like that; it’s not until now that I think I will find her because she has no grave. My mother Victoria Riveros Valencia died of a stroke because she was sad all the time about not finding my sister. Our family is no longer the same, we miss my sister, and my parents died without knowing where she was buried.” “I never reported what happened out of fear, because I was told that we would never be safe. Honestly, when I heard about all this, I felt like I was in a dream. We still haven’t found her remains and we haven’t been able to bury anything [,] so far they haven’t let us. I was so scared.” 334 281. In view of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the State violated the right to personal integrity established in Article 5(1) of the American Convention, in relation to Article 1(1) thereof, to the detriment of Zósimo Hilario Quispe, Marcelo Hilario Quispe, Gregorio Hilario Quispe, Zenón Cirilo Osnayo Tunque, Víctor Carhuapoma de la Cruz, Abilio Hilario Quispe, Marcelina Guillen Riveros and Marino Huamaní Vergara, as well as to the detriment of those who died after 2000, namely, Ana de la Cruz Carhuapoma, Viviano Hilario Mancha, Dolores Morán Paucar, Justiniano Guillén Ccanto, Victoria Riveros Valencia and Alejandro Huamaní Robles. All these victims are, according to the family group to which they belong, mothers, fathers, children, spouses, permanent partners, sisters and brothers, of the fifteen victims of forced disappearance. X REPARATIONS (Application of Article 63(1) of the American Convention) 282. Article 63(1) of the Convention establishes that “[i]f the Court finds that there has been a violation of a right or freedom protected by this Convention, the Court shall rule that the injured party be ensured the enjoyment of his right or freedom that was violated. It shall also rule, if appropriate, that the consequences of the measure or situation that constituted the breach of such right or freedom be remedied and that fair compensation be paid to the injured party.” In this regard, the Court has indicated that any violation of an international obligation that has produced harm entails the obligation to make adequate reparation, and that this provision reflects a customary norm that constitutes one of the fundamental principles of contemporary international law on State responsibility. 335 Cf.
