227. Regarding the other measures relating to the adaptation of the law, the Court notes that there is no causal nexus between the violations declared and the amendment requested. c.2.2) Training measures 228. This Court has established that the training of public officials is an important measure to guarantee the non-repetition of the facts that gave rise to violations. Accordingly, as a system of ongoing personal development, the training should continue over a significant period of time in order to achieve its objectives.250 Consequently, the State must include specific training sessions and permanent courses on the absolute prohibition of torture in the training programs for members of the police and law enforcement bodies. c.2.3) Other measures of non-repetition requested 229. With regard to the other measures of non-repetition requested by the representatives, the Court considers that the delivery of this judgment and the reparations ordered herein are sufficient and adequate. D. Other measures requested 230. The representatives, in their final written arguments, asked the Court to order the State of Guatemala to provide adequate care for the physical and psychological ailments suffered by Mr. Ruiz Fuentes’s sister. 231. The representatives also asked the Court to order the transfer of the remains of Hugo Humberto to the Las Rosas cemetery, in Mixco. 232. Regarding the request for medical care for Mr. Ruiz Fuentes’s sister, the State indicated that the suffering and/or affliction were a result of the unlawful acts committed by Mr. Ruiz Fuentes, for which the State bore no responsibility whatsoever. 233. The State also indicated its opposition to complying with the measure of transferring the remains of Mr. Ruiz Fuentes, based on the following arguments: (a) at the time of his death, the mortal remains of Mr. Ruiz Fuentes had been returned to the family who decided to place them in the general cemetery; (b) Mixco is a municipality in the Department of Guatemala; the distance is about 16 kilometers; it is part of the metropolitan area, totally urbanized, accessible and with sufficient available resources, including private and collective transport; (c) it should not be forgotten that the child abducted and kidnapped by Mr. Ruiz Fuentes and his accomplices was confined in a house located in the municipality of Mixco; therefore, the State found that this place cannot be considered the most appropriate one, especially for the transfer of the remains of the alleged victim; (d) the general cemetery is a public place where the State can place the mortal remains of members of the population, with no distinctions or privileges, and where thousands of people go to visit the graves of their family members. 234. The Commission did not comment on this aspect. 235. Regarding the request for medical care for Mr. Ruiz Fuentes’s sister, the Court notes that the representatives requested this measure for the first time in their final written arguments. Consequently, the Court finds that this request was time-barred. And, regarding the request to transfer the remains of Hugo Humberto to the Las Rosas cemetery in Mixco, the Court considers that Cf.
