Furthermore, the General Assembly to the OAS repeated that, in order for the Tribunal to fully meet its obligation to report to the General Assembly on compliance with its judgments, the States Parties to the Convention need to provide, in time fashion, the information requested by the Court.12 In this way, for the sake of complying with its role in monitoring compliance with the measures of reparation regarding the violations committed to the detriment of the victims and in the presence of both parties to an action, the Court shall assess, in each case, the need, expediency or relevance of maintaining the confidentiality of the information furnished in relation to its use in the order but not in relation to the parties’ access to it. 26. That in the instant case, Colombia has submitted certain information related to the investigations, which has been transmitted and learnt by the representatives and the Commission, but the State requests the Tribunal not to publish such information in the monitoring compliance orders. The Court shall take into account all the information provided and shall include in this order only the essential part of such information, in order to determine the level of compliance with this operative paragraph. As to the other allegations of the State (supra Considering clause 20), the Court has pointed out, as in previous cases, that it is not a criminal court which can analyze the criminal responsibility of individuals,13 and therefore, the Court shall not analyze in this stage all the dimensions of the investigations and internal proceedings, but only the level of compliance with the order established in the Judgment. * * * 27.
