28. Consequently, taking into account the State’s request to lift the provisional measures along with the information presented by the representatives and the Commission, the Inter-American Court finds that the requirements of extreme gravity, urgency and need to prevent irreparable harm to the integrity and life of the beneficiaries has ceased to exist. It therefore moves to lift these provisional measures. 29. Without prejudice to this, the Court recalls that Article 1(1) of the Convention establishes the general obligations of the States Parties to respect the rights and freedoms enshrined therein and to ensure their free and full exercise to all persons subject to their jurisdiction. Consequently, regardless of the existence of specific provisional measures, the State is especially obliged to ensure the rights of persons in a situation of risk and must promote the necessary investigations to clarify the facts and, as appropriate, punish those responsible.12 THEREFORE: THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, in exercise of the authority conferred by Article 63(2) of the American Convention on Human Rights and Articles 27 and 31 of its Rules of Procedure,13 DECIDES TO: 1. Lift the provisional measures ordered by the Inter-American Court on September 21, 2005, February 7 and July 4, 2006, May 17, 2007, and February 3, 2010, to the benefit of Luis Alberto Ramírez Hinostroza, his wife Susana Silvia Rivera Prado, and his three daughters - Yolanda Susana Ramírez Rivera, Karen Rose Ramírez Rivera and Lucero Consuelo Ramírez Rivera - as well as of Raúl Ángel Ramos De la Torre and César Manuel Saldaña Ramírez. 2. Clarify that under Article 1(1) of the American Convention, the lifting of the provisional measures does not imply that the State is relieved of its obligations under the Convention to protect. 3. Ask the Secretariat of the Court to notify the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the representatives of the beneficiaries, and the State of Peru of this Order. 4. Close the case file. 12 Cf.
