The Court notes that the last communication submitted by Mrs. Quintero does
not clearly state the dates on which the most recent incidents of alleged extreme
gravity occurred. The only document attached by Mrs. Quintero, dated October 2011,
indicates that on December 20, 2010 she rendered a statement of forced
displacement. Taking into account the insufficiency of the information reported, the
Court considers that, in the absence of precise information concerning the threats
made after 2010, the requirement of urgency necessary to maintain provisional
measures has not been met, for which reason it is appropriate to lift the measures
ordered in favor of Mrs. Quintero. Nevertheless, the Court deems it appropriate to urge
the State, based on the principle of good faith, to continue with its efforts to address
Mrs. Quintero’s situation within its domestic protection program. In particular, it urges
the State to proceed with the measures aimed at assessing the alleged risk facing Mrs.
Quintero and her immediate family.
