292. Consequently, based on the measures ordered in the judgments indicated supra, which all refer to the implementation of a training program for prosecutors, judges and members of the armed forces and which have general effects that transcend the specific cases, the Court does not consider it pertinent to order the said measures of reparation again. Compliance with these measures will continue to be evaluated at the stage of monitoring compliance with the respective judgments. C.4. Other measures requested by the representatives 293. The representatives also requested the “inclusion of modules on the grave human rights violations that occurred during the internal armed conflict in the Basic National Curriculum”; the restitution of the right to visit their cemeteries and sacred places; measures to avoid the installation of a new military garrison in the area near the settlement of Pacux; the restitution of the use and enjoyment of the Canchún Chitucán property, and the creation of a germplasm bank for the conservation of fruits and medicinal plants that are important for the Maya Achí culture. 294. For its part, the State expressed its willingness to arrange the requested changes in the Basic National Curriculum and the restitution of the right of the members of the Río Negro community to visit their cemeteries and sacred places, and to take measures to avoid the installation of a new military garrison in the area near Pacux.362 However, it indicated that it did not have budgetary capacity to create a germplasm bank, and therefore offered “to organize advisory services and support for the management of the species of fruits and medicine plants” that it is hoped to conserve through other State institutions, such as “the Agricultural Science and Technology Institute, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food,” and “a technological laboratory at the Universidad de San Carlos.” However, the State did not indicate its position regarding the restitution of the use and enjoyment of the Canchún Chitucán property. 295. The Court appreciates the State’s willingness to facilitate the implementation of some of the measures of reparation requested by the representatives, and takes note of the undertaking it has made. Nevertheless, the Court cannot grant the restitution of the Canchún Chitucán property as a measure of reparation, because it was determined in this Judgment that the Court did not have competence to rule on the alleged violation of the right to property to which this measure of reparation has a causal nexus. D. Compensations for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damage 296. The Court has developed the concept of pecuniary363 and non-pecuniary364 damage 362 The State “undert[ook] to facilitate coordination between the Ministry of Education and ADIVIMA” in order “to include the impact” of the internal armed conflict on the human rights violations committed to the detriment of the victims. The State also indicated that it was willing to arrange “with the corresponding authorities or current owners of the land” where the cemeteries and sacred places are located, so that the next of kin of the victims may visit them without problems. Also, it proposed “to incorporate into the Sacred Places Commission a committee to oversee the case” in order to promote “the approval of bill 3835 ‘Law on the sacred places of the indigenous peoples.’” The State also “assume[d] the responsibility” of arranging with the pertinent institutions to avoid the establishment of a military garrison in Pacux. It also undertook to request the National Civil Police to protect the perimeter of the area where this settlement is located. 363 Cf. Case of Bámaca Velásquez v. Guatemala.
