necessary use of force for the shortest possible period of time12 and with due care in order to prevent unnecessary acts of force.13 Therefore, the elimination of violent and humiliating punishments for children is an immediate and unconditional obligation of the States Parties.14 Accordingly, all disciplinary measures that constitute cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment, including physical punishment, isolation, as well as any other punishment that would jeopardize the physical or mental health of the minors, are strictly prohibited.15 23. In addition, the Court reiterates that Article 1.1 of the Convention establishes the general obligations of States Parties to respect the rights and freedoms recognized therein and to guarantee their free and full enjoyment for any person subject to its jurisdiction, which are imposed not only in relation to the State’s power but also in relation to the actions of third parties. The Court has pointed out that regardless of the existence of specific provisional measures, the State is especially obligated to guarantee the rights of persons deprived of their liberty.16 24. For all the aforementioned reasons, the Court deems it necessary to maintain the provisional measures in order to protect the mental and physical integrity of the children and adolescents detained at the Socio-Educational Internment Facility and that of the other persons in that establishment. Therefore, the State must continue to take the steps necessary to ensure that the provisional measures in the instant matter are planned and implemented with the participation of the representatives of the beneficiaries, so that these measures are provided in a diligent and effective manner. The Court emphasizes that it is essential to guarantee access by the representatives to UNIS and to ensure their active participation, and that of the State, in the implementation of the instant provisional measures. In view of the foregoing, in its next report the State shall submit to the Court 25. detailed information on: a) the progress made and measures taken for the implementation of the Agreement for the Improvement of Socio-Educational Assistance, in particular, on the disciplinary evaluation commissions and the distribution of employees working at UNIS, and b) the measures adopted to prevent 12 Cf.
