obligation to guarantee the creation of the conditions required to ensure that violations of this right do not occur. 286 263. According to the Court’s case law, it is not necessary to determine the guilt of the perpetrators or their intention in order to establish whether a violation of the right to life has been produced; nor is it necessary to identify individually the agents to whom the acts that violated that right are attributed. Rather it is sufficient to demonstrate that acts or omissions have been verified that have allowed the perpetration of those violations or that a State obligation exists that has not been complied with. 287 264. In this respect, the Court notes that, on June 11, 2007, Félix Ordóñez Suazo, who was coordinator and board member of the Punta Piedra Community Development Association, died as a result of three bullet wounds. According to the statements of several members of the Punta Piedra community, Félix Ordóñez Suazo’s death was the result of the land conflict that existed between him and two members of the village of Rio Miel and, owing to the tense situation, Mr. Ordóñez has been receiving threats (supra paras. 137 to 139). 265. Based on the foregoing, the Court will analyze whether, in this case, the requirements were met for the State to have had the positive responsibility to prevent the violation of the right to life of Félix Ordóñez Suazo. To this end, it is necessary to ascertain whether, at the time of the events: (i) there was a situation of real and imminent danger for the life of Félix Ordóñez Suazo; (ii) the authorities knew or should have known, and (iii) they failed to adopt the reasonable and necessary measures to prevent or avoid this danger. 288 To verify this, the Court will take into account the possible situation of special vulnerability, the cause of death, and the corresponding causal nexus between these factors. 289 266. The Court has noted that the statements of the Punta Piedra community members are consistent in indicating that, in the context of the land usurpation and the death of Félix Ordóñez Suazo, the inhabitants of the village of Rio Miel have constantly threatened them, with verbal threats and the use of firearms. As a result of this situation, the community lives in a state of fear, and has restricted the use of their territory; moreover, the effects still continue. 290 Cf.
