No definite responsibility has been fixed on the government or on the surviving members of the M-19 movement who were pardoned after they demobilized.
This is outdated and incorrect as to the Colombian state. Courts have since formally fixed responsibility on state actors and on Colombia itself for serious human-rights violations tied to the Palace of Justice events.
Full reasoning
This sentence is no longer accurate. Responsibility has in fact been formally fixed on the Colombian state and state agents in later judicial decisions.
- The Inter-American Court of Human Rights' Palace of Justice case technical file states that "La Corte declara la responsabilidad internacional de Colombia" (the Court declares Colombia's international responsibility) in the case of the disappeared from the Palace of Justice.
- Colombia's own judicial branch now publicly summarizes that on November 14, 2014, the Inter-American Court declared the international responsibility of the Colombian state for human-rights violations committed during the taking and retaking of the Palace of Justice.
- Colombia's Supreme Court has also upheld criminal convictions of military personnel for forced disappearances arising from the Palace of Justice events, confirming concrete legal responsibility for specific state agents.
So, while impunity remained a major issue for many years, it is false to say that no definite responsibility has been fixed on the government.

the fate of ten of them is unknown.
This count is outdated. By 2017–2018, multiple disappeared victims from the Palace of Justice had already been identified, so it was no longer true that ten of the eleven still had unknown fates.
Full reasoning
This sentence understates how much identification work had already been completed.
- In 2014, Colombia's Attorney General's Office announced that it had fully identified the human remains of two women who disappeared in the Palace of Justice events.
- In June 2017, El Tiempo reported that the remains of Héctor Jaime Beltrán Fuentes had been identified, and noted that Lucy Amparo Oviedo, Cristina del Pilar Guarín Cortés, and Luz Mary Portela had also already been identified in October 2015.
- In March 2018, El Colombiano reported, citing the Fiscalía and Medicina Legal, that five of the 11 disappeared from the Palace cafeteria had been identified.
Because several victims had already been identified, it is incorrect to say that ten of the eleven still had unknown fates.

Bernardo Beltrán Fernández
The victim's surname is wrong. Official case records identify him as Bernardo Beltrán Hernández, not Bernardo Beltrán Fernández.
Full reasoning
This entry misstates the victim's name.
Official inter-American case records for the Palace of Justice identify the victim as Bernardo Beltrán Hernández. Colombia's Supreme Court also uses Bernardo Beltrán Hernández in its 2023 decision upholding convictions over Palace of Justice forced disappearances.
So the surname Fernández here is incorrect.

Carlos Augusto Vera Rodríguez
This victim's surnames are reversed. Official case records identify him as Carlos Augusto Rodríguez Vera, not Carlos Augusto Vera Rodríguez.
Full reasoning
This entry gives the cafeteria manager's surnames in the wrong order.
Official records for the Palace of Justice case identify him as Carlos Augusto Rodríguez Vera. The Inter-American Court's technical file uses that name, and Colombia's Supreme Court uses the same form in its 2023 Palace of Justice disappearance ruling.
So Carlos Augusto Vera Rodríguez is incorrect.
