81 258. The State presented information and documentary evidence about the implementation of training programs and courses, as well as operating manuals for officials of the public administration, the judicial branch, and health sector employees. Among other initiatives, Mexico reported that in 2009, a procedure of institutional and social fortification for attention to violence against indigenous women was developed, training government employees of the state of Guerrero in human rights, gender equity, and interculturality. Moreover, the Attorney General of Justice of the state of Guerrero provides training courses in human rights, with the goal of raising awareness amongst the employees on the importance of prevention of sexual assaults, highlighting seminars on criminal investigations of sexual violence, medical forensics, and attention to victims of sexual violence. In addition, during the 2008-2009 period, the General Secretariat of the Government of Guerrero, carried out two training workshop called “Networks of development of detention, support, and reference of gender-based violence cases in indigenous areas of Guerrero” directed, among others, at indigenous authorities and care providers to the violence. Ten workshops on professionalism of public employees of the judicial branch of the state of Guerrero were carried out. Finally, Mexico also made reference to other training initiatives of general reach, including the training of translators in the agencies of the Public Prosecutor’s Office in indigenous communities. 259. The Court assesses positively the existence of various actions and training courses developed by the State. In this regard, it considers that they should include the provisions of the Istanbul Protocol and the guidelines of the World Health Organization, and should pay special attention to the response to alleged victims of rape, particularly when they belong to vulnerable groups, such as indigenous women. 260. As it has done previously,257 the Court orders the State to continue implementing permanent training programs and courses on the diligent investigation of cases of the sexual abuse of women that include a gender and ethnicity perspective. These courses must be offered to officials at the federal level and in the state of Guerrero, particularly to officials within the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the judicial branch, the police, and health sector personnel with competence in this type of cases who, owing to their functions, constitute the first line of response to women victims of violence. viii) Permanent educational program on human rights within the Armed Forces 261. The Commission asked that the Court order the State to implement permanent educational programs on human rights within the Mexican Armed Forces, for all ranks, which should include special mention of international human rights instruments, specifically those related to the protection of women’s rights, inter alia, their right to live without violence, and to non-discrimination. 262. This Court considers it important to develop the State’ institutional capacities by training members of the Armed Forces on the principles and norms for the protection of human rights and on the limits to which they should be subject,258 in order to avoid a repetition of acts such as those that occurred in the present case. To this end, the State must implement, within a reasonable period of time, a permanent program or course of obligatory human rights training, that includes, among other topics, the limits in the interaction between military personnel and the 257 Case of González et al.
