Considerations of the Court 264. The Court appreciates the efforts made by the State to establish laws, other legal instruments, public institutions, and policies aimed at combating gender-based violence, as well as its efforts to adapt its criminal investigation system. 352 This progress provides 352 It should be noted that the body of evidence and non-contested affirmations reveal that the State has created the Presidential Commission to tackle Femicide, “coordinate by the Presidential Secretariat for Women’s Affairs and composed of representatives of human rights and security agencies, and of the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary, as well as of the Public Prosecution Service.” The Commission was officially created on March 8, 2006 (file of annexes to the motions and arguments brief, annex 97, f. 10,810 to 10,824). On October 6 that year, according to the Inter-American Commission, the Supreme Court of Justice created the Judiciary’s Unit for Women’s Affairs and Gender Analysis, actually the Secretariat for Women’s Affairs and Gender Analysis of the Judiciary (Merits Report, supra), an entity whose creation was also described by the State. Also, as indicated by the Inter-American Commission, on November 23, 2007, the Congress of the Republic in plenary session adopted Resolution 15-2007 in which it condemned femicide in Guatemala (Merits Report, supra). In 2008, the Law against Femicide and Other Forms of Violence against Women was enacted (supra footnote 68). In addition to introducing offenses subject to public prosecution, this law established a series of State obligations such as training public officials on gender violence and the creation of a national information system on violence against women. The law also established the creation of “centers to provide comprehensive support to women survivors of violence,” and that “CONAPREVI shall be responsible for creating them” (Law against Femicide, supra, articles 18, 20 and 16, respectively; file of annexes to the motions and arguments brief, annex 93, fs. 10,776 to 10,786.). In the judicial sphere, according to information provided by Guatemala (supra para. 263), and also the Commission (Merits Report, supra), the State has a Unit for Women’s Affairs and Gender Analysis. Furthermore, information presented by the State indicates that, at the end of 2012, it had other agencies involved in the problem of violence against women, such as the Task Force against Femicide, attached to the Ministry of the Interior, or the GEM (supra para. 263). In addition, as already mentioned, Guatemala indicated the existence of the PLANOVI and the PEO (supra para. 263), adopted by Government Agreement No. 302-2009, of November 11, 2009 (file of annexes to the answering brief, annex 26, fs. 14,272 to 14,471). The State indicated that one of the elements of the PNPDIM and the PEO is “the ‘eradication of violence against women’ and, as a specific objective, ‘to prevent, punish and eradicate the different manifestations of violence: physical, economic, social, psychological, and sexual violence and discrimination.’” It also mentioned the enactment, by Decree No. 9-2009, of the Law against Sexual Violence, Exploitation and People Trafficking, creating a Secretariat in this regard, the SVET (supra para. 263). Furthermore, it indicated that, the working committees of the “Legislature” include the Committee for Women’s Affairs (supra para. 263) and, according to the State, its “functions [include …] recommending the approval of norms and procedures to the different State entities in matters that fall within its terms of reference.” Moreover, as regards criminal investigations in general, according to the representative and as revealed by the body of evidence, the
