30 Galarza (case No. 46) occurred after the filing of the application by the Commission, whereby they shall be examined by the Court as supervening facts. The other cases (No. 33 to 42) refer to deaths which occurred prior to the filing of the petition and the Commission did not justify why it had not included them before, whereby they shall not be considered. 71. Finally, the Court notes that within the list of the 31 deceased submitted by the Commission, the death of members of the Community having occurred before Paraguay accepted the contentious jurisdiction of the Inter-American Court on March 26, 1993 is mentioned. These deaths include the following cases: NN Ferreira (case No. 3), NN Ferreira (case No. 4), Leoncio González (case No. 10), Rosana González (case No. 11) and Ana María Florentín (case No. 31). The Court has no juridiction to hear these cases. 72. In view of the foregoing, in its conclusions on the alleged violation of Article 4 of the American Convention, out of the above mentioned cases the Court shall examine as alleged victims only cases No. 1, 2, 5 to 9, 12 to 30 and 43 to 46, as they appear above. VII. PROVEN FACTS 73. Having assessed the documentary evidence, the statements rendered by the witnesses, the expert opinions given by the expert witnesses, as well as the statements submitted by the Inter-American Commission, by the representatives and by the State in the proceeding of the instant case, the Court finds the following facts to be proven: a) The Sawhoyamaxa Indigenous Community and the traditional occupation of the lands claimed 73(1) Towards the end of the 19th century vast stretches of land in the Paraguayan Chaco were acquired by British businessmen through the London Stock Exchange as a consequence of the debt owed by Paraguay after the so-called War of the Triple Alliance. The division and sale of such territories were made while their inhabitants, who, at the time, were exclusively Indians, were kept in full ignorance of the facts. That is how several missions of the Anglican Church started settling in the area. In 1901 the “South American Missionary Society” settled the first cattle estate in the Chaco with the purpose of starting the evangelization and “pacification” of the indigenous communities, and of facilitating their employment in the cattle estates. The company was known as “Chaco Indian Association”, and its main seat was built in Alwátétkok.18 18 Cf. statement rendered by Mr. Alberto Braunstein before a public official whose acts command full faith and credit on February 11, 2005 (case file on the merits, reparations, and costs, Volume III, folios 488 to 500); anthropological report on the (Santa Elisa) “Sawhoyamaxa” Community of the Enxet People.
