Under the American Convention, the right to life is not limited to protection against arbitrary deprivation of life, but also requires positive measures by the State to ensure its full enjoyment. It is a basic right, whose importance has been duly emphasized by the Court in all its jurisprudence on this subject (paras. 21-22, infra). Likewise, the thesis of the positive obligations of the State is today universally reflected in doctrine. 10. Said obligations, regarding the right to life, are clearly shown by jointly reading Articles 4(1) and 1(1) of the American Convention.

The Court should have explicitly stated that the extremely destitute situation that was established led directly to the death of several members of the Community. 13. The Court also established, in the instant Judgment, that the respondent State must “provide regular medical care and appropriate medicine to protect the health of all individuals, especially children, the elderly and pregnant women, including medicine and adequate treatment to deworm all the members of the
