community (supra para. 133). The Court notes that the State did not conduct any significant procedure to clarify the facts and to punish those responsible, in violation of the principles of due diligence and reasonable time (infra para. 290). 273. The Court has also verified that, when lodging the petition before the Commission on October 29, 2003 (supra para. 2.a), the representatives indicated that the land tenure conflict with the village of Rio Miel had “planted the seeds of violence and desperation in the [Punta Piedra community].” 295 The petition was notified to the State on January 30, 2004. 274. In addition, the Court noted that on September 28, 2006, representatives of OFRANEH and different Garifuna communities, including the Punta Piedra community, held a meeting with State authorities 296 to follow up on the requests submitted to the President of the Republic. 297 However, the memorandum of understanding signed by the parties does not reveal any element related to the existing situation of risk in the Punta Piedra Garifuna community or the specific situation of Félix Ordóñez Suazo. 275. On April 20, 2007, a meeting was held with the participation of Government authorities 298 and representatives of the village of Rio Miel. During the meeting, it was agreed that “[INA would] seek to reach a friendly settlement to resolve the conflict […], to avoid incidents that could disturb the peace between the two communities, as has persisted to date [and that] INA and the municipality of Port Iriona, [would] organize a meeting with the two communities (Rio Miel and Punta Piedra), for the purpose of reaching a friendly settlement of the problem.” 299 276. Based on the above, the Court has verified that, prior to the death of Félix Ordóñez Suazo, at least 13 state institutions 300 were aware of different components of the conflict, and the General Directorate of Criminal Investigation were particularly aware of the situation of Félix Ordóñez Suazo in relation to the offense of land usurpation in 2003. However, the information provided to the Court reveals that none of the authorities had specific information of a situation that would jeopardize the life of Mr. Ordóñez, but this occurred in 2007.
