a) It had held “high level” meetings on April 8 and June 9, 2010, to make progress in the implementation of the provisional measures. Subsequently, it indicated that efforts continued in order to comply with the provisional measures, and that the dialogue with the beneficiaries of these measures continued to be of great interest, while recognizing that when the implementation of the provisional measures started “the required haste [had not been] observed, […] because it had not been possible to establish immediate coordination with the beneficiaries and their […] representa[tion]”; b) Regarding the protection provided to Adrián Meléndez Quijano (hereinafter also “Mr. Meléndez Quijano,” “Mr. Meléndez,” “Colonel Meléndez” or “the Colonel”) and the other beneficiaries, this is provided by agents assigned by the Victims and Witnesses Protection Division of the National Civil Police (hereinafter “the Protection Division”). The State indicated that, since November 30, 2009, this Division is in charge of the “personal and residential” protection of Colonel Meléndez, and also “efforts have been coordinated for police agents to patrol […] the surroundings of the residences and places of work of those protected.” This protection has been provided to the other beneficiaries since February 2010. On October 19, 2010, the State advised that “on September 11, 2010, at his request, it had made three female agents available to Colonel Meléndez Quijano to provide personal and residential protection to his family group, and four male agents to drive the vehicles that had been assigned.” On September 18, 2012, it reported that “[a]s agreed, the personal and residential protection has been established. Regarding the other beneficiaries […], on September 11, 2010, the protection system was set up with 10 agents, distributed in two groups of five persons, composed of three women and two men, working four-day shifts.” It reiterated on several occasions that, as of September 2010, it had continued to provide protection to Colonel Meléndez and his family.

In addition, in relation to the criminal proceedings that were underway against Colonel Meléndez, in which the preventive measures of house arrest had been ordered, the State indicated that, even though this situation was not related to the measures ordered by the Court, it had created an impasse in the service, without compromising his safety or increasing his level of risk, because he was serving a judicial order of house arrest in a military unit, in conditions adapted to his military rank. The State indicated that the preventive measure ordered for Colonel Meléndez did not exclude its responsibility to protect him; c) The vehicles assigned to the protection system for Mr. Meléndez Quijano also receive mechanical maintenance and check-ups, as well as fuel provided by the Ministry of Justice and Public Security.
