and global understanding about the essential features of community radio.” They also recalled the Court’s mention of the “special features of community radio stations” to be taken into account. They commented that “the purpose of the consultation with indigenous peoples is to ensure that their perspectives and voices are not only listened to, but also reflected on the governmental measures to be adopted that may affect them,” “which in this case, means that formulating a definition of community radio must be one of the topics to be discussed in the consultation process between the State of Guatemala and the indigenous communities [...] to reach consensus and modify Guatemalan laws to include a legal recognition of community radio.” 28. The Commission pointed out that the content of paragraph 103 of the judgment sheds light on what constitutes a community radio station and the functions it must carry out in order to be considered as such. It found that the judgment had identified the scope and content of a set of factors that define community radios, and sufficient material is therefore available in the judgment for complying with the operative paragraph in question. C.2. Considerations of the Court 29. Operative paragraph six of the judgment indicates the following: 6. The State shall, within a reasonable time, adapt domestic regulations in order to recognize community radio stations as distinct means of communication, particularly indigenous community radio stations; regulate their operation, establishing a simple procedure for obtaining licenses; and shall reserve part of the radio spectrum for indigenous community radio stations, pursuant to paragraphs 196 to 200 of [the] judgment. 30. In relation to the reasonable time ordered for the operative paragraph in question, it should be recalled that this should be determined according to each specific case. Compliance can be weighed based on each particular report that the State must submit, along with comments by the victims’ representatives and the Commission at the stage of monitoring compliance with judgment. Therefore, this Court considers that the State’s request cannot be subject to an abstract interpretation by the Court,8 and the Court will deliver any opinions it deems pertinent at the stage of monitoring compliance. Consequently, it concludes that the request for interpretation is inadmissible in this regard. 31. In connection with the definition of a community radio station, the Court notes that it has provided the necessary information in paragraphs 102 to 105 of the judgment, as follows: 102. The Court notes that the present case refers exclusively to community media related to sound broadcasting, that is, to “community radio stations.” Therefore, the Court will henceforth refer only to them. 103. The Court observes that there are different definitions of community radio. However, in general, community radios stations are non-profit, are managed by the community and serve the interests of the community. According to the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters (hereinafter “AMARC”), the fundamental characteristic of community radio stations “is the participation of the community in ownership as well as programming, management, operation, financing and evaluation.” Moreover, “they are independent and non-governmental media that do not depend on or form part of political parties or private firms”136. Their raison d’ être is to facilitate the exercise of the right to information and freedom of expression of members of their communities137. It should be noted that, as indicated previously (supra footnote 16), the Mutatis mutandis. Case of the Hacienda Brasil Verde Workers v. Brazil.
