Paraguay to report on proposed military justice reform

In Noguera v. Paraguay (Mar. 9, 2020), the Inter-American Court of Human Rights unanimously held (tweaked Google translation):
104. Furthermore, regarding military criminal justice, the Court recalls that, although in this case it was not concluded that the State was responsible for a violation of its duty to adopt the provisions of domestic law contained in article 2 of the The American Convention, it does consider it pertinent to order the Paraguayan State, because the first investigation was carried out in the field of military justice, to render a report on the progress of the legislative process related to the reform of military criminal justice, to which it referred. That report must contain details regarding the main proposed changes, their compatibility with the Convention and the proposed deadlines for final approval. The foregoing must be accomplished within one year from the notification of this Judgment.
The court's summary of the case can be found here.
