39 b) the duty to respect the fundamental liberties and rights not only applies to public authorities, but also to every individual. By ensuring the fundamental right of the individual to recognize his dignity as a human being, he is also imposed the fundamental duty of providing his fellow men with a similar treatment. Under no circumstances, access to illegal recourses can be provided. According to the duty of non abusing the right itself, every individual must exert his rights taking into consideration, to a reasonable extent, other’s interests and, in any case, without abusive purposes. At the same time, there is an equality duty so that anybody can raise his status over another’s; c) the events on June 18 and 19, 1986 during the subduing of the riots in El Frontón, are framed within the scope of the domestic control standards that Peru, as every sovereign State, is entitled and has the obligation to exert to protect the principle of authority and common welfare of its citizens; and d) it is necessary to consider circumstances under which the facts took place and the inmate mutiny, the State - after exhausting initial proceedings and the excessive intervention of Police Forces - ordered the needed intervention of the Armed Forces. An important premise to consider is the dangerousness posed by rioters, who had weaponry such as explosives, provisions, and medical supplies, and kept two hostages, one of them finally died inside the collapsed building. * * 134. * Article 1(1) of the Convention stipulates that [t]he States Parties to this Convention undertake to respect the rights and freedoms recognized herein and to ensure to all persons subject to their jurisdiction the free and full exercise of those rights and freedoms, without any discrimination for reasons of race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, economic status, birth, or any other social condition. 135. Article 2 of the Convention determines that Where the exercise of any of the rights or freedoms referred to in Article 1 is not already ensured by legislative or other provisions, the States Parties undertake to adopt, in accordance with their constitutional processes and the provisions of this Convention, such legislative or other measures as may be necessary to give effect to those rights or freedoms. 136. In the same sense, in other case the Court has stated that: [r]egarding people's law, a customary rule prescribes that a State, which has entered into an international agreement, must introduce in its national law the necessary assumed modifications to ensure the execution of obligations assumed. This rule is universally valid and has been considered by the jurisprudence as an evident principle ("principe allant de soi"; Echange des populations grecques et turques, avis consultatif, 1925, C.P.J.I., Series B. No. 10, p. 20). In this sequence of ideas, the American Convention states the obligation of every State Party to adapt its national law to dispositions of said Convention, to guarantee the rights recognized therein. 61 61 68.
