demarcating the collective territories of the beneficiary communities is closely related to
the persistence of the risk factors for the beneficiaries.

That, regarding the establishment of a preventive monitoring system for the
communication system assigned to the communities that are the beneficiaries of these
provisional measures, the State reported that the Ministry of the Interior and of Justice
had decided to coordinate with the communities the proposed Strategic Plan to
implement the early warning system and to coordinate the delivery of the satellite
equipment.
22.
That the representatives indicated that there had been no coordination activities
with regard to the Strategic Plan, even though the beneficiaries had requested this
repeatedly.
23.
That the Inter-American Commission considered that this obligation had not been
complied with as effectively as possible, in light of the situation of the beneficiaries.
24.
That the President considers that both the State and the representatives must
submit precise information on progress in the implementation of the continuous

refuge zones,” in the terms of the sixth operative paragraph of the Order of March 6,
2003 (supra first having seen paragraph).

That, on December 20, 2006, and October 1, 2007, 32 families from Pueblo
Nuevo and Puerto Lleras, and 177 families from the Curbaradó Community Council,
respectively, asked the Inter-American Court to accredit their own representatives in
relation to the provisional measures granted to 515 families in this matter; to this end,
the two groups designated two people to represent them. Both groups disown and reject
representation by the Inter-congregational Justice and Peace Commission and ask to be
granted the same guarantees that are being provided to other displaced persons to enter
the “humanitarian zones” represented by that organization, as well as to be able to
negotiate directly with the State in order to coordinate measures that benefit them.
26.
That, in this regard, the representative accredited to the Court indicated that he
did not represent these 32 and 177 families, who had not been presented as a specific
target population for the measures requested by that organization, and that he only
represented 161 of the 515 families that are beneficiaries of the provisional measures.
