That as concerns the duty to implement, within a reasonable time, permanent programs of education in human rights for members of the Military Forces and National Police in all hierarchical levels, with a particular emphasis on the legitimate use of force and states of emergency; and for prosecutors and judges, on international standards related to the judicial protection of human rights (operative paragraph number ten in the Judgment), the State indicated that it is developing a pilot scheme to implement such permanent programs mainly targeting members of the Military Forces and National Police, and for prosecutors and judges. Likewise, the State indicated that a specialized course on human rights and democracy from the standpoint of the Inter-American System was held at the Third Army Division “Tarqui” from November 12 to 16, 2007. 51.
