3.- Likewise, I must point out, on one hand, that the State’s
aforementioned petition does not correspond to that specified in Articles
67 of the Convention4 and 62 of the Rules of Procedure of the Court,
applicable to orders5 to request an interpretation of a judgment, and, on
the other hand, it is not of the nature of the reports provided for in
Article 63 of the Rules of Procedure,6 as an instrument in the procedure
to monitor compliance with judgments.

Article 67: “The judgment of the Court shall be final and not subject to appeal. In case of
disagreement as to the meaning or scope of the judgment, the Court shall interpret it upon request by any
of the parties, provided the request is made within ninety days of the date of notification of the judgment.”
Article 62 of the Rules of Procedure of 2000, reformed in January
2009: “Request for Interpretation.
“1. The request for interpretation referred to in Article 67 of the
Convention may be made in connection to judgments on merits or
reparations and shall be filed with the Secretariat of the Court, precisely
stating questions relating to the meaning or scope of the judgment for
which interpretation is requested….”

Article 63: “Procedure for Monitoring Compliance with Judgments
and Other Decisions of the Court.
1. The procedure for monitoring compliance with judgments and other
decisions of the Court shall be carried out through the submission of
State reports and observations on those reports by the victims or their
legal representatives. The Commission shall present observations on the
State’s reports and on the observations of the victims or their
representatives.”
2. The Court may request, from other sources of information, relevant
data on the case in order to evaluate compliance therewith. To that end,
the Tribunal may also request any expert opinions or reports that it
deems appropriate.”
3. When it deems it appropriate, the Tribunal may convene the State
and the victims’ representatives to a hearing to monitor compliance with
its decisions; the Court shall hear the opinion of the Commission at the
hearing.
4. Once the Tribunal has obtained all relevant information, it shall
determine the state of compliance with its decisions and issue the
relevant orders.”
