50. On the first point, the term "justice operators" has been used by this Court in a
broad sense, including not only judges, but also, among others, prosecutors7 and public
defenders.8 Therefore, training for "justice operators" can be understood as referring to
those officials who play a central role in ensuring access to justice for older persons and
can include judges, prosecutors, and public defenders. Also, depending on the context,
the term "justice operators" could cover other actors, including prison and police
personnel. In the instant case, the Court considers that, in light of the facts and violations
found in the Judgment, the training plan should be directed at judges.
51. On the other hand, the Court considers that the evaluation of the training programs
for judges and other justice operators implemented by the State is an aspect related to
the monitoring of compliance with the Judgment and should not be the object of an
abstract pronouncement by the Inter-American Court in this Judgment. Consequently, it
declares the request for interpretation on this point inadmissible.
52. In conclusion, this Court interprets that, in light of the facts and violations found
in the Judgment, the training plan referred to in paragraph 216 of the Judgment, as a
guarantee of non-repetition, should be aimed at judges.
