4 occasions, both the State and the petitioner reported information on the precautionary measures’ implementation. 15. On November 9, 2009, a communication was received from the petitioner in which he asked that the Commission file a request with the Inter-American Court seeking provisional measures. The petitioner repeated the same request on February 2, 2012, and pointed out that on January 27, 2010, the Supreme Court had issued a finding favorable to Mr. Wong Ho Wing’s extradition to the People’s Republic of China. On February 24, 2010, the IACHR requested provisional measures of the Inter-American Court, under Article 63(2) of the American Convention. On March 24, 2010, the President of the Court ordered the Peruvian State “to refrain from extraditing Mr. Wong Ho Wing as long as this request for provisional measures has not been resolved by the full Inter-American Court of Human Rights.”3 16. On May 28, 2010, the Inter-American Court ordered provisional measures for Wong Ho Wing and ordered the State “to abstain from extraditing Mr. Wong Ho Wing until December 17, 2010, so as to allow the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to examine and rule on petition P-366-09 lodged before the Commission on March 27, 2009.”4 17. In a communication dated November 11, 2010, the Commission informed the InterAmerican Court of the adoption of admissibility report No. 151/10 and requested that the provisional measures remain in effect. On November 26, 2010, the Inter-American Court resolved to keep the provisional measures in effect until March 31, 2011. On February 25, 2011, the Inter-American Court held a hearing on the provisional measures’ implementation and on March 4, 2011, again extended the period that they would remain in force, this time until July 15, 2011. On July 1, 2011, the Inter-American Court again extended the provisional measures so that they would remain in effect until December 15, 2011. 18. On August 4, 9 and 18, 2011, the State requested that the provisional measures be lifted, based on the ruling of the Constitutional Court which had ordered the Executive Branch to refrain from extraditing Mr. Wong Ho Wing. On September 8, 2011, after examining the information supplied by the State and given its commitment to strictly comply with the Constitutional Court’s decision, the Commission informed the Court that it believed that the Peruvian State’s request to have the provisional measures lifted was appropriate. Therefore, on October 10, 2011, the Inter-American Court ordered that the provisional measures be lifted and wrote the following: Consequently, taking into account the decision of the Constitutional Court of Peru, the information forwarded by the parties, the State’s request to lift the measures and the opinion of the Inter-American Commission (supra considering paragraphs **), the Inter-American Court of Human Rights finds that the requirements of extreme gravity, urgency and need to prevent irreparable damage to the integrity and life of the beneficiary have ceased to exist, so that it is 5 admissible to lift these provisional measures. The Inter-American Court assesses positively the references made to the American Convention on Human Rights by the Constitutional Court of Peru in this provisional proceeding in relation to 3 http://www.corteidh.or.cr/docs/medidas/wong_se_01_ing.pdf. 4 http://www.corteidh.or.cr/docs/medidas/wong_se_02_ing.pdf. 5 http://www.corteidh.or.cr/docs/medidas/wong_se_06_ing.pdf.
