128 524. Furthermore, in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico regulated discrimination as a criminal offence and established an administrative sanction for public officials who discriminate, according to the Federal Law on the Responsibilities of Public Servants.507 525. The representatives did not submit arguments about the possible lacunae and deficiencies in this type of laws, programs and actions; consequently, the Tribunal does possess any elements on which it can rule with regard to this request. 4.2.7. Law regulating support for victims of gender-based murders 526. The representatives asked the Court to order “the enactment of a law that regulates […] objectively the specific support provided to victims of the femicide, as well as minimum standards for monitoring and evaluating this support.” They justified this request on the basis that the support of a social nature or as general compensation provided by the State to date could not be left to the discretion of public officials temporarily in power, and because the support was not decided or established based on international standards for reparation of damage, but rather based on government and political criteria. 527. The State did not refer to this point specifically. However, the Tribunal observes that, when providing the support that the Court will refer to below, the State indicated that it was additional to the compensation offered in its brief answering the application (infra para. 550), and even affirmed that the contact that the authorities had maintained with the victims’ next of kin should be seen “as an example of the State’s good faith to repair the consequences of the irregularities accepted by the authorities during the first stage of the investigations into the murders of the three women.” 528. The Court observes that the Head of the Ciudad Juárez Commission recognized that, in 2005, when establishing the Financial Support Fund for the Families of Victims of Murders of Women (infra para. 557), it was not considered a means of redressing the damage. The assistance was offered based on the criminal acts of the murderer and not on the State’s responsibilities, and the support was conditioned to the filing of civil or family lawsuits.508 529. The Tribunal considers that the social services that the State provides to individuals cannot be confused with the reparations to which the victims of human rights violations have a right, based on the specific damage arising from the violation. Hence, the Court will not consider any government support that was not specifically addressed at repairing the lack of prevention, impunity and discrimination that can be attributed to the State in the instant case as part of the reparation that the State alleges to have made. 530. In addition, the Court finds that it cannot tell the State how it should regulate the support it offers to the individual as part of a social assistance program; accordingly, it abstains from ruling on this request by the representatives. 4.2.8.
