Pleadings of the State
313.
The State asserted that:
a)
concerning
the
representatives’
claim
seeking
presidential
acknowledgment of the facts, the State has already made significant
acknowledgements of responsibility in the instant case, which will become
public in the Court’s judgment;
b)
the fact that the instant case has reached the Inter-American Court
and that the State has admitted its failings with regard to the care of
juveniles in conflict with the law and deprived of their liberty, will fully and
sufficiently
satisfy
the
representatives’
claim
demanding
public
acknowledgment; and
c)
it agreed to the request that the guards be trained, with the proviso
that at the present time there are no prison guards, but rather educators
trained under the European Community’s AMAR Project. It further asserted
that training is a priority component of the socio-educational model being
applied at the CEI Itauguá and other centers, although with limited budgetary
and human resources, and that civil society organizations such as RONDAS
and RAICES have been involved in the training process.
Considerations of the Court
314. The Court will now proceed to determine those measures of satisfaction that
seek to redress the non-pecuniary damages and ensure that cases similar to the
instant case will never happen again.
a)
Publication of the pertinent parts of the Court’s judgment
315. As it has in previous cases,225 the Court finds that as one measure of
satisfaction, the State is to publish, at least once, within six months from the date of
notification of the present Judgment and in the Official Gazette and another widely
circulated national newspaper, both the section titled “Facts Proven” in this Judgment
-absent the corresponding footnotes- and the operative part of this Judgment.
b)
Public act acknowledging international responsibility and announcing a State
policy on juveniles in conflict with the law that is consistent with Paraguay’s
international commitments
316. Within six months, the pertinent State institutions, in partnership with civil
society, are to prepare and map out a State policy for the short, medium and long
term on the subject of juveniles in conflict with the law. That policy is to be fully in
keeping with Paraguay’s international commitments. It is to be announced by highranking State authorities, in a public act wherein the State also acknowledges
Paraguay’s international responsibility for the deplorable conditions at the center
between August 14, 1996 and July 25, 2001.
