2 correct obvious mistakes in the editing or calculations made.7 This is, then, all that the Court may do with respect to a judgment it has issued. This is the case not only because of the principle that in Public Law, a body can only do what a norm permits, but also because of the principle of legal certainty involved in the issuance of a judgment, expressed in that it is definitive for the issuing tribunal, as well. Therefore, logically, it must be understood that the proceedings for monitoring compliance with judgments established in the Rules of Procedure must be in accordance with Article 65 of the Convention and Article 30 of the Statute, that is, carried out so that the Court may indicate, in its annual report to the General Assembly of the OAS, the States that have not complied with its judgments in the corresponding period, and not so that it may escape this obligation. This mechanism established in the Rules of Procedure cannot, then, hope to substitute the jurisdiction, established in the Convention, of the General Assembly of the OAS on the matter, even under the pretext that this latter organ does not exercise its jurisdiction or does not exercise it in due form. It is not for the Court to judge the actions of this political body, the highest body of the Organization. III.- Insufficiencies and risks of the established mechanisms. Nor can the cited mechanism provided for in the Rules of Procedure find its justification in that the applicable norms of the Convention do not establish a more adequate mechanism to effectively guarantee compliance with the Court's judgments, as this latter organ has competence only to apply and interpret the Convention,8 and not to modify it, a function which is the exclusive responsibility of the States Parties thereto.9 This is so 2.  The  Court  may  require  from  other  sources  of  information  relevant  data  regarding  the  case  in  order  to  evaluate  compliance  therewith.  To  that  end,  the  Tribunal  may  also  request  the  expert  opinions  or  reports  that  it  considers  appropriate.  3. When it deems it appropriate, the Tribunal may convene the State and the victims’ representatives to a hearing in order  to monitor compliance with its decisions; the Court shall hear the opinion of the Commission at that hearing.  4. Once the Tribunal has obtained all relevant information, it shall determine the state of compliance with its decisions and  issue the relevant orders.  5. These rules also apply to cases that have not been submitted by the Commission.” 7   Art. 76: “Rectification of errors in judgments and other decisions.   The Court may, on its own motion or at the request of any of the parties to the case, within one month of the notice of the  judgment  or  order,  rectify  obvious  mistakes,  clerical  errors,  or  errors  in  calculation.  The  Commission,  the  victims  or  their  representatives, the respondent State, and, if applicable, the petitioning State shall be notified if an error is rectified.” 8    Art. 62 of the Convention: “1. A State Party may, upon depositing its instrument of ratification or adherence to this  Convention,  or  at  any  subsequent  time,  declare  that  it  recognizes  as  binding,  ipso  facto,  and  not  requiring  special  agreement,  the  jurisdiction  of  the  Court  on  all  matters  relating  to  the  interpretation  or  application  of  this  Convention.  2.  Such declaration may be made unconditionally, on the condition of reciprocity, for a specified period, or for specific cases. It  shall  be  presented  to  the  Secretary  General  of  the  Organization,  who  shall  transmit  copies  thereof  to  the  other  member  states  of  the  Organization  and  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Court.  3.  The  jurisdiction  of  the  Court  shall  comprise  all  cases  concerning the interpretation and application of the provisions of this Convention that are submitted to it, provided that the  States  Parties  to  the  case  recognize  or  have  recognized  such  jurisdiction,  whether  by  special  declaration  pursuant  to  the  preceding paragraphs, or by a special agreement.”   9    Art. 76 Idem: “1. Proposals to amend this Convention may be submitted to the General Assembly for the action it  deems  appropriate  by  any  State  Party  directly,  and  by  the  Commission  or  the  Court  through  the  Secretary  General.  2.
