CARMONA TINOCO, Jorge Ulises. The intra-states pathways to comply with reparations orders in the inter-american court of human rights judgments. The imperious need of a specific and effective legal and institutional framework for the victims. Bol. Mex. Der. Comp. [online]. 2021, vol.54, n.160, pp.99-154.  Epub Mar 07, 2022.

The paper focuses on the duty and the need for the States to have a specific legal and institutional framework in order to comply with reparations orders, in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights judgments. With this purpose, the introduction to this article provides an overview of the basis, key features and situation of the reparation orders, many of which still remain at the international monitoring compliance with judgment stage. This points out how important is turning at what States are internally doing in order to implement the Inter-American Tribunal's reparation decisions. Hence a detailed and systematic account is offered as to the different kind or legal and administrative measures States have taken, as well as Constitutional amendments and draft legislations, concerning their duty to obey the Inter-American Court of Human Rights judgments. The final part of the article focuses on Mexico, explaining in depth its legal, administrative and judicial precedents frameworks to comply with Court's decisions for the victims, its progress and problems, as well as changes to be made towards compliance of still pending judgements.

Keywords : victims of human rights violations; reparations of human rights violations; compliance of Inter-American Court of Human Rights judgements; State duties towards human rights; constitutional reform; draft legislations; national program of human rights.
