Armed Force” that, it considered, fulfilled its obligation to provide training on human rights to the National Armed Forces. 27. The representatives appreciated the information presented by the State regarding the human rights and international humanitarian law programs. However, they observed that compliance with this aspect “is not achieved merely by providing this academic information,” because compliance required continuous training and education activities on human rights, and these “are not specified, […] and neither are the number of military or police officials who have taken these courses and the follow-up evaluations”; accordingly, they asked the Court to require information in this regard. 28. The Commission merely noted that it “appreciate[d] the information provided by the State.” 29. The Court recalls that human rights education within the security forces is crucial for ensuring the non-repetition of events16 such as those of the present case Consequently, the Court takes note of the information provided and appreciates the creation of the “Program of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law Courses for Educational Establishments of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces” of the Vice Ministry for Education of the Armed Forces, of the Ministry of the People’s Power for Defense. However, the information presented by the State reveals that the issues of the prohibition of forced disappearance, torture and the disproportionate use of force, taking into account the case law of the inter-American system for the protection of human rights, are not included in the academic programs of all the Armed Forces schools. Consequently, the Court finds that the State must take the necessary steps, as soon as possible, to incorporate these issues into the curriculum. When submitting information on this aspect, the State must indicate the parts of the training and education courses based on which it is complying with this obligation. 30. Furthermore, according to the judgment (supra having seen paragraph 1), this measure of reparation also refers to training courses for officials of the “Intelligence and Prevention Services Sectoral General Directorate” and the State did not specifically address this aspect of the reparation. Therefore, the Court finds it essential that the State submit recent detailed and complete information on the courses for intelligence service officials. 31. In summary, having verified the schools it encompasses, as well the curriculum, objectives and content of the “Program of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law Courses for Educational Establishments of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces” of the Vice Ministry for Education of the Armed Forces, of the Ministry of the People’s Power for Defense, the Court considers that the State has complied partially with this obligation, as regards implementation of a program for the Armed Forces on the principles and norms for the protection of human rights. g) Regarding the obligation to pay the amounts established in the judgment (thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth operative paragraphs of the judgment) 32.
