122 501. The State attached models of protocols as evidence481 and indicated that “a specific protocol is followed for each type of crime. For cases of murders of women, there are protocols for sex crimes, injuries, on-site crime investigation, support for victims, crisis support, forensic chemistry, forensic medicine, murder, suicide and accidental death.” It asserted that the state Office of the Attorney General had distributed widely the contents of the Declaration on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, and the Convention of Belém do Pará. 502. In other cases, the Court has ordered that the parameters for investigations, forensic analyses and prosecution should be harmonized with international standards.482 The Tribunal considers that, in this case, the State must, within a reasonable time, continue harmonizing all its protocols, manuals, judicial investigation criteria, expert services and delivery of justice used to investigate all crimes concerning the disappearance, sexual abuse and murder of women with the Istanbul Protocol, the United Nations Manual on the Effective Prevention and Investigation of Extralegal, Arbitrary and Summary Executions, and the international standards for searching for disappeared people, based on a gender perspective. In this regard, it must provide an annual report for three years. 4.2.3. Implementation of a program to look for and find disappeared women in the state of Chihuahua 503. The representatives asked that Operation Alba be revised, redesigned and restructured with “the participation of international experts in this field in order to […] create an immediate response investigation and documentation program [with] the necessary financial resources to ensure that it can function adequately.” They also alleged that “the ‘immediate response’ actions [in force] were not effective for responding promptly to the report of a disappeared or missing person and, above all, were inadequate and ineffective for preventing crimes against the women and girls of Ciudad Juárez,” mainly because “the criteria for classifying a disappearance as ‘high risk’ were neither clear nor objective and included discriminatory elements,” and even because officials refused to implement the urgent measures without plausible justification. 504. The Court observes that, on July 22, 2003, the State implemented Operation Alba “to establish special surveillance, in addition to the surveillance that already existed, in areas of high risk for women and where murder victims had been found.” Subsequently, on May 23, 2005, the Protocol for Reception, Reaction and Coordination between municipal, state and federal authorities in cases of missing women and girls in the Municipality of Juárez or the “Alba Protocol” was implemented. Based on agreement and consensus among the participating institutions, the protocol established a mechanism for reception, reaction and coordination among authorities of the three spheres of government when women or girls went missing in Ciudad Juárez. In October 2006, the protocol had been “activated 8 times [since its creation], and had 481 Cf.
