C.
Measures of satisfaction
112. The representatives asked the Court to order, as a measure of satisfaction, the
publication of the “salient points” of the judgment in “at least two newspapers with national
circulation and in the Official Gazette of the Argentine Republic,” as well as the judgment in
its entirety and the public hearing held in the framework of the case, at the "Judicial
Information Center, under the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation."
113. The State, after acknowledging responsibility, made no specific reference to this
measure of satisfaction.
114. As it has done in other cases,160 the Court decides that the State must publish, within
six months of notification of this judgment, in an appropriate and legible font: a) the official
summary of this judgment prepared by the Court, once, in the Official Gazette of the
Argentine Republic; b) the official summary of this judgment prepared by the Court, once,
in a newspaper with broad national circulation, and c) this judgment in its entirety, available
for one year, on an official website of the State. The State must advise this Court
immediately when it has issued each of the publications ordered, regardless of the one-year
time frame for presentation of its first report, as established in the thirteenth operative
paragraph of this judgment.
D. Guarantees of non-repetition
D.1. Raising awareness among State officials and training them on racial
discrimination
115. The Commission asked the Court to order the State to “train State security forces
officials on the standards set forth in Merits Report No. 146/18, regarding their obligations
to protect the lives and integrity of the people in their custody.”
116. For their part, the representatives asked the Court to require that the State: “e.3.
Incorporate specific content on racism and arbitrary detentions based on racial profiling into
the official curricula of the security forces training programs, making special mention of the
death of José Delfín Acosta Martínez and the judgment of this […] Court ”.
117. The State made no reference to this measure of reparation.
118. This Court deems it pertinent to order the State to, within a period of two years,
include training in the regular training received by the Police of the Autonomous City of
Buenos Aires and the Argentine Federal Police on the discriminatory nature of the
stereotypes based on race, color, nationality, or ethnic origin, as well as the use of racial
profiling in the exercise of police authority to make arrests, along with raising awareness on
the negative impact that the use of stereotypes has on people of African descent. The police
training must include studying this judgment.
