14. As of the date of issuing this Order, the Inter-American Commission had not submitted any observations to the request for provisional measures and had not responded to the President’s request for information (supra Having Seen 11). 15. The Court takes cognizance of Guatemala’s offer to continue providing measures of protection in favor of Mr. Romero Rivera and notes that the latter “accept[ed] the security measure proposed” under the terms established in the preceding paragraphs. Also, it is important to emphasize that the State has acknowledged that Mr. Romero Rivera faces a risk associated with his public position as Director of the Special Investigations Unit of the Office of the Human Rights Ombudsman and the cases which he investigates, including the case of Mr. Edgar Fernando García. 16. The Court considers that the State has offered and is implementing measures to protect the life and integrity of Mr. Romero Rivera which, at this time, make unnecessary the Court’s subsidiary and complementary intervention through the issuance of provisional measures. During the processing of this request, Guatemala has maintained an attitude that leads this Court to assume that it will continue adopting the measures necessary to guarantee the right to life and integrity of Mr. Romero Rivera. Therefore, the Court considers that it is not appropriate to analyze whether the conventional requirements of gravity, urgency and irreparable damage are satisfied (supra Considering para. 5) since it is not necessary to order provisional measures of protection. 17. The Court reiterates that Article 1(1) of the Convention establishes the general obligation of the States Parties to respect the rights and freedoms recognized therein and to ensure the free and full exercise of those rights and freedoms to all persons subject to their jurisdiction. The Court emphasizes that, as the State itself has acknowledged (supra Considering paras. 9 and 11), regardless of the existence of provisional measures ordered by this Court, the State is obliged to guarantee the rights of Mr. Romero Rivera 6. 18. Finally, with regard to the representatives’ request that the State assign to Mr. Romero Rivera “the accompaniment of a police vehicle for any movements he may need to make”, it is the State’s obligation, in accordance with the aforementioned duty to guarantee human rights, not only to maintain the measures of protection it has adopted for the time warranted by the circumstances, but also to implement those necessary to effectively protect Mr. Romero Rivera, taking into account his situation of risk. Therefore, it is necessary that the State maintain adequate communication, coordination and cooperation with the beneficiary of the measures. THEREFORE: 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 27 and 31 of the Court’s Rules of Procedure, DECIDES: 6 Cf. Matter of María Lourdes Afiuni. Provisional Measures regarding Venezuela. Order of the InterAmerican Court of March 2, 2011, Considering para. 12. 7
