On March 21, 2022, the State submitted a request for interpretation of the Judgment. First, it requested clarification of the expression "annual installments" used in paragraph 232 of the Judgment, which defines the form of payment of the amounts established as a restitution measure. Secondly, it requested that the criteria for the payment of the amounts corresponding to the restitution measure and the compensatory damages and payment of costs and expenses be established with greater precision. Third, it requested clarification on how the calculation of interest referred to in paragraph 209 of the Judgment would be applied, in relation to the criteria established in paragraphs 232 and 238 of the Judgment. In addition, it requested clarification as to whether the readjustment to the amounts ordered as a restitution measure applies in respect of each installment in relation to the date of payment or in respect of the total amount owed after the payment of a respective installment. Fourth, it requested the interpretation of the scope of the term "justice operators" in paragraph 216 of the Judgment in relation to guarantees of non-repetition. Finally, it requested an interpretation as to whether the mechanism indicated in paragraph 234 to resolve the situation of those deceased victims whose heirs could not be determined is only applicable to the three cases identified in that paragraph or whether it would be applicable to all the other cases in which the succession of the deceased victims could not be determined in order to make the payment. 3.
