23 continues processing the investigation of the rape under the military justice system. Even though they indicated that this issue had been referred to previously, they made several observations on the measures adopted in the investigation, “revealing that the military justice system is not only incompetent, but also partial, inadequate, and ineffective.” The Commission indicated that it had no observations to make on the documentation forwarded by Mexico. 74. With regard to the documents of Preliminary Investigation No. SC/179/2009/II-E of the Military Attorney General’s Office forwarded by the State together with its final written arguments, the Court observes that these procedures carried out between January 6, 2010, and May 21, 2010; in other words, after the date of the response to the application, so they could not be provided previously. Therefore, these documents will be considered evidence of supervening facts in the terms of Article 46(3) of the Rules of Procedure and admitted to the extent that they are pertinent. The Court will take into consideration the corresponding observations of the Commission and of the representatives, as well as the body of evidence, in application of the rules of sound judicial discretion. 75. Regarding the documents on alleged supervening facts forwarded by the representatives, the State indicated that these facts concern the provisional measures ordered by the Court, which do not form part of the purpose of the present contentious case. The facts do not have a phenomenological connection with the facts of this case, and exceed its factual framework. For its part, the Commission indicated that it had no observations to make in this regard. 76. Regarding the documentation about the events that allegedly occurred on May 17, 2010, recounting that Ana Luz Prisciliano Fernández, one of the alleged victims in this case, was followed and received death threats, the Court indicates that these events do not form part of the merits of the present case and, therefore, cannot be admitted pursuant to Article 46(3) of the Rules of Procedure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Court will consider these facts in the context of the provisional measures duly ordered.
