5 11. That the representatives informed as follows: a) “that they were not asked to participate in the designing and evaluation” of the measures of protection. They stated that Mr. Uzcátegui “only received one invitation to participate in a meeting attended by the High Prosecutor, the 1st Prosecutor of the State of Falcón and the Deputy Ombudsman of said State. An agreement was signed at said meeting, restricting the measure to police patrolling;” b) On May 21, 2005, they noted that “none of the authorities commissioned with providing protection have gotten in contact with the petitioners or the beneficiary to directly coordinate the mechanisms of protection,” and c) On September 9, 2008, they stated that “the beneficiary […] does not know the officials […] in charge of protecting his life and personal integrity.” 12. That the Commission stated that “the State report does not show whether the beneficiary and his representatives ha[ve] been allowed any involvement in the planning, mechanism and implementation of said measures.” Moreover, the Commission found it “essential for the beneficiary and his representatives to have a State that is able to consistently coordinate and make decisions to guarantee the implementation of effective measures.” 13. That the State must take all such steps as are appropriate so that the measures of protection ordered by the Court will be planned and implemented with the participation of the beneficiary thereof or his representatives, such that said measures are carried out diligently and effectively.2 The Court finds that some of the meetings organized by the State are a positive contribution to compliance with the provisional measures, and that it is necessary to secure as much information and coordination as possible to better implement the measures of protection. * * * 14. That, as to the persistence of the extreme gravity and urgency in avoiding irreparable damage to the life and personal integrity of Mr. Uzcátegui, over the past four years the representatives have claimed as follows: a) On May 16, 2005, Mr. Uzcátegui stated that: [t]wo weeks ago, two members of the LINCE group […] on motorbikes aggressively came up to me at a pay phone, and asked for my ID. Once I showed them my ID, they said: “You’re that Uzcátegui guy, and you have unfinished business to settle with all of us.” They kept my ID for a while and then left. Likewise, on repeated occasions I noticed that two officials attached to the LINCE group of the Armed Police Forces […] had been following me, particularly on my way to meetings with next of kin of victims of alleged executions, and on my way to the Coro Vicarage; 2 Cf.
