The National Guard’s annual report to the Senate must include the activities of the Permanent Armed Forces.

The Permanent Armed Forces must comply with the obligation to generate public reports on the use of force.

Cases of excessive use of force and human rights violations must be investigated by external and independent agencies, and not by the military themselves.

The Permanent Armed Forces must comply with the National Registry of Detentions.

The Internal Affairs Unit of the National Guard should be reviewed and headed by a civilian with an unquestionable profile. Soldiers who have violated human rights should not join the National Guard.

Command levels in the National Guard must incorporate civilians.

The military jurisdiction must continue to be limited so that it does not hear cases of human rights violations against the military, organized crime and crimes against health so that there are external controls.

The Armed Forces must acknowledge their responsibility for human rights violations during the “Dirty War” and during the “War on Drugs.”

Allow the OHCHR to thoroughly monitor situations and human rights cases of the National Guard and the Permanent Armed Forces as agreed with the High Commissioner.
