alleged continued existence of Decree Law No. 2,191 and article 15 of Law No. 19,992 prevented, in addition to the development of the investigation, the possibilities of claiming reparations (supra para. 143). The Court has already ruled in relation to these norms and refers back to its decisions in this regard (supra paras. 154 and 157). D.2.2.1) Measures of compensation and rehabilitation as “rights” to be protected in this case 195. Under Articles 25(1) and 8(1) of the Convention, the rights indicated exist in relation, inter alia, to “fundamental rights recognized […] by law,” and “rights […] of a civil or […] any other nature.” According to some previous findings (supra paras. 124 to 127 and 138), since Chile recognized Mr. García Lucero’s condition as a victim of “political imprisonment” and torture in 2004, the State has an obligation to enable him to be “guaranteed” “adequate compensation” under the corresponding norms (supra para. 182). In addition, domestic laws established rehabilitation measures for a group of individuals that includes Mr. García Lucero (supra para. 73). In this regard, in 2004, Law No. 19,992 established a “right” to “physical rehabilitation” for victims of “political imprisonment” and torture recognized as such by the Valech Commission, and also granted them educational benefits. 203 196. In addition, with regard to the said measures, the Court observes that the “Basic Principles” (supra para. 186) indicate that “[i]n accordance with domestic law and international law, and taking account of individual circumstances, victims of gross violations of international human rights law […] should, as appropriate and proportional to the gravity of the violation and the circumstances of each case, be provided with full and effective reparation, […] which include[s …] forms [of …] compensation [and] rehabilitation.” The former “should be provided for any economically assessable damage, as appropriate and proportional to the gravity of the violation and the circumstances of each case,” and the latter “should include medical and psychological care as well as legal and social services” (Principles 18, 20 and 21). The United Nations Human Rights Committee, referring to Article 7 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, has indicated that “States may not deprive individuals of the right to an effective remedy, including compensation and such full rehabilitation as may be possible.” 204 Indeed, reparation for human rights violations includes rehabilitation, which must include “medical and psychological treatments, as well as legal and social services.” 205 In addition, as indicated (supra para. 188), the Committee 203 Article 10 of the law establishes that “[t]he persons indicated in articles 1 and 5 of the […] law shall have the right to receive from the State the technical support and the physical rehabilitation required to overcome the physical injuries resulting from the political imprisonment or torture, when the said injuries are of a permanent nature and represent an impediment to the education, employment or social integration capabilities of the beneficiary. Its article 11 states “[t]he State will guarantee, free of charge, the continuation of studies, whether of a basic, medium or higher level, to those persons indicated in articles 1 and 5 of the […] law, who owing to political imprisonment or torture were prevented from continuing their studies.” Article 1 refers to “victims directly affected by human rights violations, individualized in the annex ‘List of political prisoners and persons tortured’ of the List of Persons Acknowledged as Victims, which forms part of the Report of the National Commission on Political Imprisonment and Torture, created by Supreme Decree No. 1,040 of 2003 of the Ministry of the Interior.” Article 5 alludes to “[t]he persons individualized in the annex ‘Minors born in prison or detained with their parents,” on the List of Persons Acknowledged as Victims, which forms part of the Report of the National Commission on Political Imprisonment and Torture, created by Supreme Decree No. 1,040 of 2003 of the Ministry of the Interior.” 204 General Comment No. 20, Article 7 (Prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment).

HRI/GEN/1/Rev.7, para. 15 (1992). 205 Basic Principles and Guidelines on the Right to Remedy and Reparation for Victims of Gross Violations of International Human Rights Norms and of Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law, resolution 60/147 adopted by the General Assembly on 16 December 2005, Principle 21. Similarly, in several cases the Court has considered it pertinent to order the award of measures of pecuniary compensation, together with treatment of the physical and psychological problems suffered, as measures of rehabilitation, to persons recognized as victims of 63
