2 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. 4 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….” 5 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.” 6
