In this regard, the State did not submit any new information at the private hearing. 28. That the representatives pointed out that they had no information about the implementation of an education program in human rights designed for security forces, nor about the adjustment of operational plans to deal with public disturbances. Therefore, they requested that the State be required to submit detailed and accurate information on the steps taken. In this regard, at the private hearing, the representatives pointed out that no progress had been made in compliance with this obligation and further highlighted the need to focus training and education programs on the use of force, the use of firearms, and the design of operational plans. 29. That the Commission noted that said obligation is still pending compliance, as it considers it relevant that the State submit information specifying the measures adopted and setting clear and accurate guidelines for the officials responsible for the use of force in public disturbances. Furthermore, it took cognizance of the information submitted by the State, but observed that in order that the measures regarding training and education of public agents may be effective, these must be permanent and institutionalized. At the private hearing, the Commission reiterated its arguments as put forward in its written observations and highlighted the points on which training programs for the members of the armed forces and securities agencies should focus, in agreement with the observations submitted by the representatives. 30. That in view of the parties’ statements, the Court notes that the State has submitted information regarding a number of training and education activities and workshops, aimed at different public and private parties. Notwithstanding, it has not submitted information on training and education activities specifically aimed at the members of its armed forces and security agencies, nor on the adjustment of its operational action plans, as required by the Judgment. Therefore, the Court deems it essential that the State submit information on the steps taken and to be taken in order to train and educate said officials in the above-mentioned subjects and to adjust its operational plans in order to comply with the measured ordered in operative point four. * * * 31.
