-12Llaipén alleged, inter alia, “the international responsibility of agents of the Argentine State for the [alleged] illegal detention, incommunicado detention, torture and forced disappearance of her son in Comodoro Rivadavia, Chubut Province, commencing on October 2, 2003, [in the First Departmental Police Station, as well as the alleged] denial of judicial protection and guarantees owing to the absence of an adequate investigation and the punishment of the officials who allegedly tortured and disappeared Mr. Torres.” 7. That, regarding the obligation of the State to adopt, immediately, all necessary measures to protect the rights to life and personal integrity of the beneficiaries of the urgent measures, according to the provisions of the first operative paragraph of the Order of the President (supra Having seen paragraph 4), the Court appreciates that, according to information provided by the Commission in its brief requesting provisional measures (supra Having seen paragraph 2) and also submitted to the Court during the public hearing (supra Having seen paragraph 18), the State has adopted certain measures of protection in favor of the beneficiaries and that, in the context of the precautionary measures, some meetings have been held concerning implementation of the measures. However, both the Commission and the representatives have stated that the said measures have been insufficient and ineffective to provide adequate protection in view of the gravity of the situation and the imminence of danger. In this regard, the Court emphasizes the positive nature of the fact that, during the public hearing, both the representatives and the Commission, and also the State, expressed their willingness to discuss the implementation of the measures, since they all indicated that the objective is to adopt effective measures. 8. That, although some measures have been adopted and there is a willingness to discuss how to implement them in order to ensure that they are as effective as possible, the Court notes with concern that, while the precautionary measures were in force, Valeria Torres and María Millacura were victims of serious harassment and threats to their right to personal integrity. The Court also observes with concern that since Mrs. Millacura Llaipén and her two lawyers requested the Commission to issue precautionary measures, three individuals involved in the case relating to the investigation into the alleged disappearance of Iván Eladio Torres have allegedly been murdered. Even though the deceased were not protected by the Commission’s precautionary measures, this situation reveals the potential danger for other persons related to this investigation, the next of kin of one of the murdered witnesses, and the next of kin of the person who has allegedly disappeared, and their lawyers. 9. That, having examined the facts and circumstances that motivated the Order issued by the President in consultation with the Court of June 21, 2006, requiring the adoption of urgent measures in favor of thirteen beneficiaries (supra Having seen paragraph 4), as well as the statements of the Commission, the representatives and the State during the public hearing (supra Having seen paragraphs 16 to 18), it is clear that, despite the measures adopted by the State to protect the rights to life and personal integrity of the beneficiaries, a situation persists of extreme gravity and urgency and possible irreparable damage to the rights to life and personal integrity of the beneficiaries of the measures. Hence, the Court considers it advisable to ratify the decisions taken by the President, because the information presented reveals, prima facie, that María Leontina Millacura Llaipén, Marcos and Valeria Torres, Juan Pablo Caba, Gerardo Colín, Patricio Oliva, Tamara Bolívar, Walter Mansilla, Miguel Ángel Sánchez, Silvia de los Santos and Verónica Heredia, and Viviana and Sonia Hayes, are in a situation of extreme gravity and urgency, because their lives and
