11 protect the life and physical integrity of the nine next of kin of the beneficiaries mentioned in the Commission’s request (supra seventh considering paragraph). II. Regarding the request to expand the provisional measures to include the representatives of the beneficiaries 19. The Court takes note of the Commission’s arguments in favor of expanding the present measures to include the representatives of the beneficiaries, according to which: (i) the threats against the beneficiaries of the present measures also extend to their representatives owing to the relationship between the threats and the denunciation and investigation of the alleged disappearance of the beneficiaries Nitza Paola, Rocío Irene, and José Ángel Alvarado, in which the representatives have played a visible and active role, and (ii) the alleged context of harassment of human rights defenders in Chihuahua would suggest a situation of risk to the life and physical integrity of the said representatives (supra having seen paragraph 8). The Court also notes the State’s observation in this regard that the Commission has not referred to specific acts against the representatives that might reveal a situation of extreme gravity and urgency. 20. Regarding the said climate of harassment against human rights defenders, the Court deems it opportune to reiterate the content of its Order of November 26, 2010.18 On that occasion, the Court explained that even though, in order to determine the existence of a situation of extreme gravity and urgency to avoid irreparable harm, it may assess all the political, historical, cultural or other factors or circumstances affecting the beneficiary or placing him in a vulnerable position at a specific time and exposing him to possible violations of his rights, only situations that are specifically extreme and urgent may be addressed by way of provisional measures. In this regard, the Court indicated that there may be a series of factors or circumstances that reveal serious harassment against a particular group that places the group in a situation of extreme gravity and urgency and in danger of suffering irreparable harm. In this extreme situation, the granting of provisional measures may be justified even without a direct threat to the beneficiary, if a series of serious attacks against a group to which he belongs gives rise to the reasonable inference that he will also be attacked. However, the Court indicated that there may also be a situation that is not of this nature and that, in itself, does not represent extreme gravity and urgency and the danger of suffering irreparable harm for a specific group. In this case, the context will only be used to evaluate the specific threat against the beneficiary and not, of itself, to justify the granting or maintenance of provisional measures.19 21. With respect to the request to expand the provisional measures to include the representatives, the Court observes that, on this occasion, the Commission again requested that provisional measures be granted in favor of five representatives whose previous request for provisional measures had been rejected by this Court in its Order of November 26, 2010.20 In that Order, the Court found that the alleged context did not per se justify the granting of provisional measures in favor of the said representatives; in other words, that the said context was insufficient to support the expansion of the 18 Cf.
