the criminal offense of rape would protect the legal rights covered by the criminal offense of statutory rape. Consequently, and in order to ensure that all forms of sexual violence against adolescent minors are based on lack of consent and are prosecuted and punished in accordance with the seriousness of the facts, the State must, within a reasonable period of time, eliminate the criminal offense of statutory rape from its legal system. 200. Regarding the concept of incest, this Court considers that the case revealed special characteristics of the legal approach to incest in the Bolivian justice system that led to Brisa’s revictimization. In effect, the representatives criticized the status of incest as a “mere aggravating circumstance,” requesting as a measure of reparation that it be transformed into an autonomous offense. The State did not specifically address this argument in its considerations. 201. It should be emphasized that incestuous rape entails a differentiated and particular impact on the rights of children and adolescents, specifically protected by the American Convention and other international instruments. Taking into account the prevalence and the differentiated and aggravated impact of incestuous rape, as well as the importance of increasing visibility of its definition and prohibition, the Court considers that incest is different from other forms of sexual violation and requires a specialized approach on the part of the State in its legislation. Thus, the Court considers it appropriate to order the State to, within a reasonable period of time, make incestuous rape visible with its own nomen juris in the Bolivian Penal Code. d.2. Adoption of standardized protocols for investigation and comprehensive care in cases of sexual violence to the detriment of children and adolescents 202. The State indicated that it has implemented a series of instruments for the investigation and prosecution of crimes against sexual freedom with a gender and childhood perspective 326 and for addressing cases of violence against children and adolescents.327 The Court notes that the investigation and trial protocols indicated by the State are focused on the prevention, combat and eradication of gender violence and violence against women in general. Thus, the Court notes that, according to the information provided, only one protocol refers to the collection of testimony from children and adolescents who are victims or witnesses, and that the State did not specify whether the other protocols include a specific section or general guidelines for cases in which the victim is a child or adolescent. 203. The Court considers that the general criteria established in the cited documentation imply significant progress in terms of the adaptation of domestic standards and practices to international regulations. However, it warns that it is necessary to have standards more focused on children, which take into account the criteria established in this judgment and in other international instruments that consider the specific conditions and needs of children and adolescents. Among them, the State made reference to the Gesell Chamber Interview Protocol and Methodology for Collecting Testimony from Children and Adolescents, victims and/or Witnesses; Medical - Forensic Examination Protocol in Sexual Crimes; Protocol for specialized medical-forensic care for violence against women; Specialized Forensic Psychology Care Protocol for women victims of violence; Protocol and institutional critical route for the care and protection of victims, within the framework of the Law to guarantee women a life free of violence; Gesell Chamber Use Guide. 2nd Edition; Action guide for protection, assistance, security and comprehensive reparation measures for damages to direct and indirect victims of gender-based violence; Action Guide for Measures of Protection, Assistance, Security and Comprehensive Remedy of Harm to Direct and Indirect Victims of Gender-Based Violence; Protocol for the Investigation, Sanction and Comprehensive Remedy of Harm in Gender-based Violence, and an Investigative Action Protocol for the Pursuit of Cases Provided for in the Law against harassment and political violence towards women. (Merits file, folios 527 to 528). 327 Among them, the State pointed out the Protocol for Prosecution with a Gender Perspective; Protocol for the Participation of Children and Adolescents in judicial proceedings and intervention by the interdisciplinary professional team; Integrated Bolivian Model of Action against Gender-Based Violence, intended to assist different state institutions involved in the path of care for women in situations of violence, and Guide to Roles and Functions for Ombudsmen for Children and Adolescents.
