-4- 13. Additionally, the Court has upheld the inadmissibility of using a request for interpretation to submit questions of fact and law that were already raised in their procedural opportunity and on which the Court has already taken a decision,5 as well as to seek that the Court re-assess issues that have already been decided in the judgment.6 Similarly, it is not possible to try to broaden the reach of a measure for reparation ordered in a timely manner.7 Meanwhile, the Court has also indicated that the formulation of abstract or hypothetical situations has nothing to do with the purpose of a request for interpretation of judgment.8 14. Under this understanding, the Court will examine the requests for interpretation made (supra paras. 2 and 3), as well as the arguments presented in this regard by the parties and the Commission, respectively, and will determine their admissibility. If the respective request is deemed admissible, this Court will make the pertinent clarifications and precisions in order to contribute to the effective implementation of the measures of reparation ordered in the judgment, without expanding their scope. Along these lines, it is pertinent to remember that in this case, the wording of the considerations expressed in the judgment would simply be clarified, given that said judgment is final and unappealable (supra para 9), and clearing doubts about its original scope. 15.
