83 in such places, the Tribunal considers that in this case it is not pertinent to order a measure as the one requested. Nevertheless, the Court recalls the special position of the State with respect to persons deprived of liberty. On such grounds, the State is specially obliged to ensure the rights of persons deprived of liberty,307 and in particular, the adequate provision of water supply in La Joya-La Joyita Penitentiary Center, and to secure that the conditions of imprisonment in said establishment as well as in La Palma Public Prison conform to international standards on the matter. c) Measures of training for government officials 277. The representatives requested the Court to “order the State to implement training programs addressed to officials of the National Migration Services in relation to the guarantees of due process and the right every person has […] to have access to them in an effective manner" and to establish the content of said programs in common agreement with recognized organizations in the field of the rights of migrants. In relation to the implementation of training programs, the State did not present any argument. 278. Once analyzed the evidence furnished by the Commission and the representatives and taking into account the acknowledgment of responsibility made by the State, the Court determined that the violations of the rights of Mr. Vélez Loor were characterized by the action or omission especially of officials of the then National Office of Immigration and Naturalization and the National Prison System. In light of this and of the circumstances of the instant case, the Court considers that the State must implement, within a reasonable time, an education and training program for the personnel of the National Migration and Naturalization Services, as well as for other officials that in their capacity have to deal with migrants, regarding the international standards related to the human rights of migrants, the guarantees of due process and the right to consular assistance. In said program, the State shall make special reference to the present Judgment and the international human rights treaties to which Panama is a Party. 279. The Commission requested the Court to order the State to adopt measures so that “the Panamanian authorities learn and comply with the obligation to initiate ex officio investigations whenever there is an accusation or well-grounded reason to believe that an act of torture has been committed under its jurisdiction.” 280. Finally, the Court considers it is appropriate to order the State to implement, within a reasonable time, training programs on the prohibition to torture and the obligation to initiate ex officio investigations if there is an accusation or a wellgrounded reason to believe that an act of torture has been committed under its jurisdiction, addressed to personnel of the Public Prosecutor's Office, the Judiciary, the police as well as medical personnel with authority in this type of cases and who because of their functions constitute the first line of primary attention to torture victims. d) Measures to ensure that the Panamanian immigration laws and the application thereof conform to the American Convention on Human Rights 281.
