C.3.1. Access to information contained in military archives 194. The Commission requested that the necessary measures be taken for the State to comply with its obligation regarding access to information contained in state archives, including military archives, related to the serious human rights violations committed during the dictatorship of Luis García Meza, and to enact a law and establish institutional mechanisms to guarantee its full and effective exercise. It also requested that the State be ordered to adopt public policies aimed at obtaining, producing, analyzing, reconstructing, organizing, and facilitating access to such information by Mr. Flores Bedregal's family members and society as a whole. 195. The representative requested that Bolivia be ordered to establish: a) policies aimed at obtaining, producing, analyzing, reconstructing, organizing, and facilitating the information contained in state archives, including military archives, in accordance with international standards; b) legal and institutional mechanisms to ensure full and effective access to public information; and c) guarantee the right to the truth through a legal framework in accordance with international standards and the best practices in the field. 196. The State rejected the claims on the grounds that justice operators, the Truth Commission, and the public administration have access to military archives only by court order. 197. In the analysis on the merits of this case (supra paras. 153 and 155) the Court determined that Article 98 of the Organic Law of the Armed Forces of Bolivia runs contrary to the standards established by the Court's case law on access to information by victims of serious human rights violations. Therefore, this Court concluded that the State prevented the relatives of Juan Carlos Flores Bedregal from accessing information relevant to the clarification of his forced disappearance in the context of the coup d'état of July 17, 1980, and restricted the judicial proceedings related to that information, thus violating the rights to seek and receive information, and to the judicial independence enshrined in Articles 13(1), 13(2), and 8(1) of the American Convention, in relation to Articles 1(1) and 2 of the same instrument, as well as the right to know the truth. In view of the foregoing, the State must adopt the legislative, administrative, and any other measures necessary to strengthen the regulatory framework for access to information in cases of alleged human rights violations within a reasonable time, and in particular with regard to the regulations governing the withholding of information under the Organic Law of the Armed Forces when it prevents the clarification of the forced disappearance of persons. In this sense, within the framework of their respective scopes of authority and the corresponding procedural regulations, the state authorities must exercise ex officio control of conventionality between the domestic rules and the American Convention in light of the interpretation made by the Inter-American Court in this case. 198. Furthermore, in accordance with the decision of this judgment, the State must lift, within a period of one year from the notification of this judgment, the confidential nature of any documentation related to the forced disappearance of Juan Carlos Flores Bedregal in the context of the events that occurred on July 17, 1980, which are under the Armed Forces and other state entities' control. 199. Likewise, the State must establish a system that allows open digital access to the Truth Commission's Report, within one year from the notification of this judgment, in order to remove the material obstacles to its consultation in the Library of the Plurinational Legislative Assembly. 56
