In like manner, since it feels that the case that gave rise to the provisional measures is considered at an end before the Inter-American System; that the payment of indemnification has been made in favor of the Blake family; and that the courts have convicted one of the persons responsible for the death of Nicholas Chapman Blake, Guatemala requested the Court to lift the provisional measures adopted, and
