the provisional measures in the matter of the Aragua Penitentiary Center “Tocorón Prison” required by the Court in its Order of November 24, 2010 (supra having seen paragraph 2). 5. The briefs of March 4 and April 12, 2011, in which the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (hereinafter “the State” or “Venezuela”) presented two bi-monthly reports on the implementation of the provisional measures in which it referred both to the four matters joindered in the Order of November 24, 2009 (supra having seen paragraph 1), and, in the same brief, to the implementation of the provisional measures in the matter of the Aragua Penitentiary Center “Tocorón Prison,” required by the Court in the Order of November 24, 2010 (supra having seen paragraph 2). 6. The brief of May 10, 2011, in which the representatives of the beneficiaries submitted their observations on the State’s bi-monthly report of March 4, 2011 (supra having seen paragraph 5). 7. The notes of the Secretariat of the Court of March 24, April 15, and May 9 and 12, 2011, regarding the provisional measures in the four matters joindered in the Order of November 24, 2009, in which it informed the representatives of the beneficiaries and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights of the time frame for presenting their respective observations on the reports submitted by the State (supra having seen paragraph 5), in accordance with the third operative paragraph of the Order of November 24, 2009 (supra having seen paragraph 1).
