filiation, as well as their life certificate, Fathers and mothers must produce only an attestation of paternity or maternity as well as life certificate or any other equivalent proof. c) Proof of causal link between the wrongful act and the moral prejudice 55. Regarding the causal link between the wrongful act and the moral prejudice suffered, the Court is of the opinion that such link may result from the violation of a human right, as an automatic consequence, without any need to prove otherwise. In the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court, there is even a presumption in that regard. This Court has indeed declared that there is “a presumption according to which violations of human rights and a situation of impunity regarding those violations cause grief, anguish and sadness, both to the victims and to their next of kin’°, and that in such circumstances no proof is required 2" 56. In the instant case, there is hardly any doubt that the close relatives of Norbert Zongo and his three companions suffered moral damage arising from the shortcomings ascribable to the Respondent State for having failed to apprehend, prosecute and bring to trial those responsible for the quadruple murder on 13 December 1998, and in particular the unduly prolonged procedure which in the end turned out to be fruitless (see Judgement of 28 March 2014, paras 152 to 156). 20 IACHR: Caracazo v. Venezuela, Judgment of 29 August 2002, Reparations and Costs, para. 50,;,.."the presumption according to which violations of human rights and a situation of impunity regarding those violations cause grief, anguish and sadness, both to the victims and to their next of kin’. See in this same regard: Idem: Aloeboetoe v. Surinam, (Reparations and Costs), Judgment of 10 September 1993, para 76; Idem: Loayza Tamayo v. Peru (Reparations and Costs) Judgment of 27 November 1998, para. 140; Idem: Gonzalez Medina and Others v. Dominican Republic, 27 February 2012 (Preliminary Objections, Merits, Reparations and Costs) para. 270; Idem: November 2003 (Merits, Reparations and Costs), para. 243. Myrna Mack v. Guatemala, Judgment of 25 21 ACHR: Mapiripan Massacre v. Colombia, (Merits, Reparations and Costs), Judgment of 15 September 2005, para, 146: “Beyond the above, in a case such as that of the Mapiripan massacre the Court deems that no evidence is required to prove the grave impact on the mental and emotional well-being of the next of kin of the victims.” 19 aed dy
