11 d) Regarding the participation of the petitioners in the planning and implementation of the provisional measures, that: i. the last meeting aimed at monitoring the implementation of the provisional measures was held on January 27, 2005, that is, over a year ago, and though the State is aware of the various difficulties that have arisen, it has not convened any further such meetings; ii. the monitoring of the compliance with the measures has not been seriously arranged with the Government. Though the dates for such meetings to be held was set, they are not taken into account and when the date comes no meeting is called; and iii. it is necessary that the State seeks a mechanism or a periodic and formal procedure to monitor the implementation of the provisional measures so that the measures aimed at complying with the protection ordered are coordinated, planned, and implemented. 11. The communications submitted by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (hereinafter “the Inter-American Commission” or “the Commission”) on February 16, 2002; September 4, 2002; November 18, 2002; January 10, 2003; May 20, 2003; June 6, 2003; September 8, 2003; October 31, 2003; January 21, 2004; November 11, 2004; May 24, 2005; September 29, 2005; December 27, 2005; April 6, 2006; and October 6, 2006; whereby it stated, inter alia, that: a) Regarding the measures adopted to protect the life and physical integrity of Sister Noemy Palencia, as soon as she returns to Meta Department, of Islena Rey, and of Mariela de Giraldo and her two minor daughters, Sara and Natalia Giraldo, that: i. there is no controversy as to the fact that protection measures have been adopted in behalf of Ms. Rey, but from the observations submitted by the beneficiaries it can be inferred that difficulties have arisen with the implementation thereof, particularly regarding the escorts. The conflicts and differences that have arisen must be solved in good faith, through decisions adopted at the joint meetings to be held in order to plan and implement the measures; ii. Ms. Rey has communicated with several authorities to inform about the problems arisen regarding the protection service, specifically about the resources necessary, the necessary repairs and servicing of the vehicle, which is in poor operating conditions, and the payment of salaries to the escorts. It took the State over a year to replace escort Luis Adolfo Cárdenas-Barrera due to the irregularities reported on his performance on duty, his lack of professionalism, and his absences, all of which had a negative impact on the safety of the person to whom protection is afforded. The “negligence concerning the person who is under the protection program has put her in a state of defenselessness and serious risk for her health and physical integrity;” iii. by September 2002 further acts of harassment had occurred against Islena Rey and the implementation of the protection measures had been hampered, whereby her life was, at least at the time, at risk and in imminent danger;
