80 International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. In addition, during the public hearing held in this case (supra para. 8), the State indicated that it “will hold a seminar explaining the State’s international responsibility in this case and in others of enforced disappearance.” 257. The Court assesses positively the progress made to date by the State with regard to guarantees of non-repetition, as well as the proposal to hold a seminar on forced disappearance (supra para. 256). However, the Court observes that, in its offer, the State did not specify the scope of the said seminar or the persons who would be benefited by it. Given the particular circumstances of this case, this Court considers it important to strengthen the State’s institutional capacities by training public officials in order to avoid repetition of acts such as those analyzed in this judgment. Regarding the training on human rights protection, in its case law, the Court has found that this is a way of providing public officials with new knowledge, enhancing their capabilities, allowing them to specialize in certain innovative areas, preparing them to occupy different posts, and adapting their capacities so as to improve their performance of the tasks assigned to them.277 258. Consequently, notwithstanding the human rights training programs for public officials that already exist in Bolivia, the Court orders that the State must implement, within a reasonable time and with the corresponding budget, a training program on the due investigation and prosecution of acts that constitute enforced disappearance of persons, targeted to agents of the Public Prosecutor’s Office and judges of the Bolivian Judiciary with jurisdiction on such events, so that the said officials have the required legal, technical and scientific elements to evaluate integrally the phenomenon of enforced disappearance. In particular, in this type of cases, the authorities responsible for the investigation must be trained in the use of circumstantial evidence, indicia and presumptions, the assessment of the systematic patterns that can give rise to the facts investigated and the discovery of the whereabouts of those who have suffered enforced disappearance (supra paras. 82, 166 to 168, 217 and 219). 258. In the programs referred to above, special mention should be made of this judgment and to the international human rights instruments to which Bolivia is a Party. D. Indemnifications, compensations, costs, and expenses D.1 Pecuniary damage 260. The Court has developed the concept of pecuniary damage in its case law and the hypotheses in which it must be compensated. This Tribunal has established that pecuniary damages assume “the loss or detriment of the income of the victims, the expenses made applied preferably regarding the contrary dispositions of the Constitution; b) article 13 of said Constitution has stablished “the direct aplication” of the Inter-American Court jurisprudence; c) article 111 of the Constitution forbids the application of the statute of limitations to the crimes of genocide, against humanity and war crimes, and d) article 114 forbids all forms of torture and forced disappearance. 277 Cf.
