families located inside the biodiversity and humanitarian zones already protected be
updated, and that it be increased from 161 to 214 families;
b)
the “[a]rrival of new families not related to the beneficiaries of the humanitarian
and biodiversity zones protected by the provisional measures.” It indicated that “[t]wo
families recently arrived to the Humanitarian Zone of Pueblo Nuevo, three families to the
Humanitarian Zone of Nueva Esperanza[,] three families to the Humanitarian Zone of El
Tesoro, and 10 families to the Humanitarian Zone of Andalucía-Caño Claro.” The
Commission highlighted that these new families are located in “the same zones that are
protected by provisional measures, and the level of risk they face is identical to that of the
beneficiary families [...];”
c)
the “movement of families that are beneficiaries of the provisional measures to new
humanitarian and biodiversity zones.” The Commission claimed that “15 beneficiary
families [...] that were initially in the Humanitarian Zone of Tesoro and other beneficiary
families that live in the zone of Andalucía-Caño Claro, moved and created the new
Humanitarian Zone of Camelias-El Tesoro.” Currently, “out of the beneficiary families that
initially created the Camelias-El Tesoro Humanitarian Zone, 26 new family groups have
been created.” The representatives asked the Commission to request an expansion of the
provisional measures to the 15 new families that are not beneficiaries but that are now
living in the Camelias-El Tesoro Humanitarian Zone. The Commission argued that “this
would be an update of the [f]amilies that are beneficiaries of the provisional measures
[who] created a new zone, with new family groups (26 in total) subsequently created
among them;”
d)
the existence of “the humanitarian and biodiversity zones that are not beneficiaries
of the provisional measures.” Regarding this, the Commission reiterated its concern at the
fact that the events of April 2011 affected not only the zones protected by provisional
measures but also the humanitarian zones at Caño Manso, Argenito Díaz and Caracolí, as
well as the following biodiversity zones: “No hay como Dios,” “Los Caracoles,” “Orlando
Valencia,” “El Martirio,” and “Lejano Oriente;” and
e)
the “[p]lan for the mass murder of male and female leaders.” The Commission
asked the Court to order the State to implement “special protection plans” for the following
persons: Ligia María Chaverra, Uriel Tuberquia, Enrique Petro, Manuel Denis Blandón,
Erasmo Sierra, Eustaqui Polo, Ladis Tuirán, Nohemi de Saya, Alfonso Saya, Santander
Nisperuza, Liria Rosa García, Raúl Salas and Miguel Hoyos.

Regarding the humanitarian and biodiversity zones for which the expansion of these
provisional measures is being requested, the Commission provided the Tribunal with interactive
maps that show the location of these areas and the movements of the members of the
communities of Jiguamiandó and Curvaradó within their territory. During the public hearing held
in this matter (supra Having Seen 5), the Inter-American Commission reiterated its request for
expansion of the provisional measures.
