That this President considers it is essential for the Inter-American Court to receive thorough and updated information on the compliance with the Judgments delivered in the above mentioned cases and listen to the observations made by the Inter-American Commission and the victims’ representatives, as well as the position of the parties with regard the request for extension of the provisional measures. 68. That monitoring compliance with the Judgments delivered by the InterAmerican Court has been carried out through a written procedure, in which the responsible State must submit reports requested by the Tribunal and, in view of such reports, the Inter-American Commission and the victims or their legal representatives may submit the corresponding observations.

That though the request for provisional measures is, under the terms of Article 25(7) of the Rules of Procedure, subjected to a public hearing, in the instant case, the request for extension of the provisional measures filed by the beneficiaries’ representatives is related to the compliance with the Judgments delivered by the Court in the cases of Fermín Ramírez and Raxcacó Reyes, inasmuch as it refer to operative paragraph ten and seven, respectively, thus, such request shall be examined in a private hearing.
