The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) brought suit on Sunday against the Dominican Republic before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the case of the disappearance of university professor Narciso Gonzalez (Narcisazo) in May 1994, as reported in Diario Libre.
The decision comes 15 years after the presentation of a complaint to the IACHR on 1 July 1994, over the detention and subsequent disappearance of Narcisazo, which was admitted in March 1998.
The suit against the Dominican state was reported to Narcisazo's relatives and the lawyers of the Truth Commission, by means of a statement dated 2 May 2010 and signed by Santiago A. Canton, the IACHR executive director.
The letter indicates that, "the IACHR has filed a suit in the Case Num. 11.324, Narciso Gonzalez Medina, against the Dominican Republic, in the honorable Inter-American Court of Human Rights in compliance with articles 51.1 of the Convention and 45 of the Regulations of the Inter American Commission". Truth Commission secretary Rafael Dominguez said that even though it took 15 long years to reach this decision, he expects to see the case crowned with the truth.
