maternal grandparents,” and that this has not “yet been […] regulated […].” They added that “it is important to highlight that the provisional measure has not yet been met, since the schedule has not been made effective between child L.M. and his [biological] parents.” With regard to the judicial resolution of August 31, 2011, they considered that “the measure ordered by the judge has led to weekly encounters between child L.M. and his maternal grandparents, without mention of the possibility of expanding the visits to the parents, which thereby does not satisfy compliance with the provisional measure.” Moreover, the representatives considered that, in general terms, there has not been effective compliance with that ordered by the Court and they have requested the Court to summon the parties to a hearing. 7. The President values the measures to implement the measures ordered in favor of child L.M. carried out by the domestic authorities, but also notes that the information that the State has provided is incomplete. 8. Moreover, the President states that encounters have taken place between child L.M. and his maternal grandparents as of September 27, 2011. While the State has expressed that it is complying with the provisional measure ordered, the Commission and the representatives have expressed that child L.M. has not yet had contact with his biological parents, and there is no clarity with respect to the modality of the measures regarding visitation. 9. It is important to recall what the Court stated in the mentioned order, that “in view of the importance of the interests at stake, the right to physical integrity, the right to identity, and the right to the protection of the family, the administrative and judicial proceedings relating to the protection of the human rights of the child, particularly those judicial proceedings concerning the adoption, guardianship and custody of boys and girls in early childhood, must be handled by the authorities with exceptional diligence and celerity.”4 10. The President deems it necessary for the Court to receive, in a private hearing, upto-date information from the State, the Inter-American Commission, and the representatives, on the status and prospects of the implementation of the provisional measures ordered in the Order of the Court of July 1, 2011. THEREFORE: THE PRESIDENT OF THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, in exercise of the authority granted by Article 63(2) of the American Convention on Human Rights, and Articles 4, 15(1), 27(2), 27(9), and 31(2) of the Rules of Procedure of the Court, DECIDES TO: 4 Matter of L.M. Provisional Measures regarding Paraguay. Order of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights of July 1, 2011. Consideranding clause 16. 5
