91 are; iii) guarantee so that said registry respects the requirements for the access to information and privacy; and iv) implementation of a control mechanism for any authorities not complying with updating such mechanism. iv) Training program for civil servants 244. The Commission requested the Court to order the Mexican State to develop “training programs for civil servants taking into account the international rules established in the Istanbul Protocol so that such civil servants can have the necessary technical and scientific elements to evaluate any possible situations of torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatments.” The Commission also requested the Court to order the State to implement “permanent human rights education programs within the Mexican Armed Forces, at all hierarchical levels.” In turn, the State sustained that “[t]he Public Prosecutor’s Office of Mexico is working on the implementation of the Istanbul Protocol all over the country, training the civil servants of the Public Prosecutor’s Offices in the entities of Mexico.” Additionally, the State expressed that the Public Security Secretariat “through the General Direction of Human Rights conducts workshops and training programs to prevent torture when working in public security issues and to improve the implementation of the Istanbul Protocol.” Moreover, the State pointed out that the 2008-2012 National Human Rights Program is providing training to public servants of the Ministerial Federal Police. Likewise, it indicated that the human rights training is being provided by means of the National Human Rights Program (PNDH), in coordination with the National Commission on Human Rights; the Workshop on Human Rights and Humanitarian Principles applicable to the political role in coordination with the International Committee of the Red Cross and through courses, workshops, international seminars and video-conferences. 245. The Court positively values the existence of various training courses and actions developed by the State. To that end, the Court considers that such actions and courses must include, as applicable, the study of the provisions established in the Istanbul Protocol. Therefore and as it has held in other cases,350 the Tribunal establishes that the State must continue implementing permanent training programs and courses on diligent investigation in cases of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatments and torture. Such courses shall be taught to federal and Guerrero state officials and particularly to members of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the Judiciary, the Police and personnel from the health sector having competence in this type of cases and that, due to their functions, are called to assist victims alleging attacks to their personal integrity. Moreover, this Tribunal considers important to strengthen the institutional capacities of the State by means of training programs for the Mexican Armed Forces on the principles and rules governing the protection of human rights, including limitations that constrain them351, in order to avoid the repetition of similar facts. v) Other measures requested 246. The Commission and the representatives requested the organization of an act of public acknowledgment of state responsibility for the damage caused to the victims. In turn, the representatives requested the following additional measures of reparation: i) to organize an awareness campaign on the importance of the work done by human rights advocates in Mexico, ii) to establish an educational center 350 Cf. Case of González et al (“Cotton Field”) v. Mexico, supra note 48, para. 541; and Case of Rosendo Cantú et al v. Mexico, supra note 30, para. 245 and 246. 351 Cf. Case of the Rochela Massacre v. Colombia, supra note 56, para. 303; Case of Fernandez Ortega et al v. Mexico, supra note 39, para. 262
