- 125 - However, it deems it pertinent to require the State to create and implement, within two years, a training plan for officers of the Federal Police and the police of the state of Mexico aimed at: (i) raising the awareness of members of the police forces: that they should include a gender perspective in police operations; regarding the discriminatory nature of gender stereotypes such as those used in this case, and with regard to the absolute duty to respect and protect the civilian population with whom they come into contact in the context of their work keeping public order, as well as (ii) training police agents on the standards for the use of force in contexts of social protest established in this judgment and in this Court’s case law. This training plan should be incorporated into the regular training of members of the state and federal police forces. 356. The Court also requires that the State must establish an independent observatory at the federal level to follow up on implementation of the policies on accountability and the monitoring of the use of force of the Federal Police and the police of the state of Mexico, which can include the participation of members of civil society. This observatory must also produce information that leads to relevant institutional improvements. To this end, the State must generate information systems that permit: (i) evaluating the effectiveness of the existing mechanisms to supervise and monitor police operations before, during and after the use of force, and (ii) providing feedback on the required institutional improvements, based on the information obtained from the observatory. To comply with this measure, the State must provide evidence of the creation of the observatory, with the characteristics described, as well as its operationalization. However, the Court will not monitor its implementation. D.3.b Guarantee the effectiveness of the Mechanism to Monitor Cases of Sexual Torture against Women 357. The Commission asked the Court to order the State to reinforce its institutional capacity “to ensure that investigations of cases of alleged sexual violence, in general, and of sexual torture by State agents, in particular, are compatible with the standards described” in its Merits Report. 358. The representatives alleged that the State had not taken adequate and effective measures to end the sexual torture of women perpetrated by State agents, because its policies had focused on responding to violence involving private individuals. The Mechanism to Monitor Cases of Sexual Torture, was created by the CONAVIM in September 2015, but it did not provide its first report until December 2016. Consequently, the representatives asked the Court to order the State to ensure that this Mechanism effectively “receives, analyzes and produces a report on the cases submitted to it within a reasonable time.” They also asked that the State be ordered to make a “diagnosis of the phenomenon of the sexual torture of women in the country in order to recommend relevant public policies, also guaranteeing their continuation beyond the current administration.” Lastly, they indicated that, contrary to the State’s assertions, the Mechanism was not “meeting the objectives initially proposed.” 359. Meanwhile, the State argued that, as a result of the representatives’ requests, it had adopted a State policy to reinforce its institutions in order to respond adequately to cases of the sexual torture of women in Mexico. It recalled that, in response to the events of this case, it had created the Mechanism to Monitor Cases of Sexual Torture against Women in order to review and respond to cases of women who denounced sexual torture. The Mechanism had issued reports on sexual torture in Mexico, and had even made on-site visits to learn about the most important needs and demands of the victims of sexual torture. Consequently, the State argued that it was not necessary for the Court to order the reinforcement of the Mechanism because “it is meeting the objectives initially proposed, in conjunction with civil society organizations.”
