3 b) in each of the five cases, the petitioners alleged to the Commission that the State has violated specific rights under the American Convention and the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man; c) the Commission requested precautionary measures in each of these five cases pursuant to Article 29(2) of its Rules of Procedure, with no response from the State; and d) the Commission has not had the opportunity to complete its examination of these complaints and to issue decisions in all of these cases, and, given these circumstances, it considers that the execution of these five individuals would render any eventual decision of the Commission moot, in terms of the efficacy of potential remedies, causing irreparable harm to the individuals to whom these sentences and complaints relate. 5.
