66 249. The representatives did not submit any additional claims regarding this measure of reparation. 250. The State advised that it had organized several courses on human rights for Administration officials, judges, and members of the police forces, emphasizing the rights to privacy and to freedom of association. It added that the Court of Justice of Paraná, through the School of the Judiciary, had undertaken to include the subject of human rights, emphasizing the issues of freedom of association and the right to privacy, in training courses for judges. Also, the School of Administrators of Justice of the state of Paraná, in collaboration with the University of the State of Paraná, had prepared a compact disc that operated as a virtual course on the topic “Status and protection of fundamental rights,” highlighting the right to privacy, honor and reputation in investigation procedures. The virtual course was sent to all the comarcas of the state of Paraná for all administrators of justice. From July 2006 to June 2008, the state of Paraná Intelligence Department, which is now responsible for controlling the interception of telephone communications authorized by the courts, provided training on the topic, even for judges. Lastly, the curricula of the training courses for the military and civil police of the state of Paraná include courses on human rights; the Civil Police Training School offered refresher training in human rights to 920 civil police from 1997 to 1999, and the military police have developed similar initiatives offering 20 hours of classes on human rights and citizenship in training and refresher courses for corporals and sergeants. 251. The Court considers that training is a way of providing public officials with new skills, developing their capabilities, allowing them to specialize in specific new areas, preparing them to occupying different posts and adapting their capacities to improve the way they perform their tasks.205 The Court appreciates the State’s effort to offer training courses to the Judiciary and the Civil and Military Police to ensure that these officials respect human rights when performing their functions. However, training, as a continuing education system, should extend over a significant period in order to comply with the said objectives; the State must therefore continue to provide training for police and justice officials. v) Revocation of Law 15662/07 252. The representatives asked the Court to order the State to revoke Law No. 15662/07 granting Judge Khater the title of honorary citizen of the state of Paraná. 253. Neither the Commission nor the State presented additional arguments in this regard. 254. The Court is competent to order a State to annul a domestic law when its terms violate the rights embodied in the Convention, and are thus contrary to Article 2 thereof, but, in the instant case, this was not alleged or proved by the representatives. Consequently, the Court does not admit the request made by the representatives. d) Costs and Expenses 255. As the Court has indicated on other occasions, costs and expenses are included in the concept of reparations embodied in Article 63(1) of the American Convention.206 256. The Inter-American Commission asked the Court to order the State to “pay reasonable and necessary costs and the expenses that are duly authenticated, […] arising 205 Cf. Claude Reyes et al. v. Chile.
