7 v) as regards the procedural aspects of the reform, full consensus has been reached on the application of the system of the 2000 Criminal Procedural Code to military criminal courts. However, “some modifications have been introduced with regard to ordinary criminal proceedings" which are "aimed at ensuring the confidentiality or secrecy of certain background information and documents that, if disclosed, communicated or made known, could affect the security of the Nation,” pursuant to the international standards established by the Court for Chile in the Case of Claude Reyes. The possibility of jurisdictional control is nevertheless admitted, in order to protect the right to legal defense and not to undermine the condition of the accused in the criminal proceedings, in such a manner that “the prosecuting body will have controlled access to said information, enabling the courts to have the final say as to whether said incriminating elements may be made available during the criminal investigation." Regarding the creation of a military criminal system of an adversarial nature, “it involves not only replacing the procedure inherent in the inquisitorial system that is currently in force in the military justice, but also modifying the very manner in which the State administers justice in military courts.” Likewise, work has been done on sections that depend on and supplement the Criminal Procedural Code “that is in force for all other Chilean citizens”, but that restrict the application of certain rules of the Criminal Procedural Code, establish the rules that can be applied under certain conditions or with certain amendments and include several rules which are applicable in times of war, and vi) a work schedule was prepared with a view to complying with the international obligations that are pending compliance and that “[o]nce all stages are completed […], the Executive Power will introduce the bill/s dealing with the reform of military criminal justice […].

Although it pledged to finish preparing the bill, in its latest submissions Chile “reports, again, on the work done by the CERJM and refers to a new work schedule, according to which the State apparently pledges to comply with the orders of the [...] Court." Hence, they lamented the fact that the State does not have a bill yet, despite the different deadlines it has fixed and failed to observe during the instant proceedings of compliance with the Judgment. They noted that the political context of presidential elections should not be invoked as yet another justification to delay compliance with the orders of the Court; ii) regarding the principles, as they have held before the Court on previous occasions, they enshrine guidelines of a very general and basic nature on which the reform of Chilean military criminal justice is to be based.
