95 recognized in the American Convention. Thus, as a guarantee of non-repetition, the Court considers it necessary to order the State to incorporate into the curriculum of the National Education System, at all levels and within a reasonable time, an education program that reflects the multicultural and multilingual nature of Guatemalan society, and promotes respect for and knowledge of the diverse indigenous cultures, including their worldviews, histories, languages, knowledge, values, cultures, practices and ways of life. This program should emphasize the need to eradicate racial and ethnic discrimination, racial and ethnic stereotypes, and violence against indigenous peoples, in light of international standards 369 on the matter and the jurisprudence of this Court. D.4.4. Strengthening the mechanisms to combat racial and ethnic discrimination 320. The Commission asked the Court to adopt the necessary measures to prevent similar acts from occurring in the future, in accordance with the duty to protect and guarantee the human rights recognized in the American Convention. The Court orders, as a guarantee of nonrepetition and given the extremely serious acts against the Maya Achí indigenous people described in this judgment, and in view of the possibility that discriminatory attitudes and feelings persist in society, that within a reasonable period of time, the State should improve and reinforce the fight against all forms of discrimination and, in particular, against racial and ethnic discrimination, strengthening the existing bodies or those that will be created for this purpose. These bodies must ensure the direct participation of persons from vulnerable groups and must also promote the reappraisal of native cultures, disseminating their history and richness. The aim is to ensure that public policies and actions aimed at eradicating acts of racial discrimination are effective and guarantee equality, recognition, respect and promotion of the rights of indigenous peoples, thereby discouraging manifestations of racial and ethnic discrimination in Guatemalan society.
