contain statements made by relatives of Mr. Medina Ferreras that are unrelated to the Court’s request; hence, it considers that their presentation is time-barred. Consequently, the Court does not admit the representatives’ annexes 9 and 10 because it did not request them as helpful evidence, and their presentation was time-barred. Regarding annexes 13, 14 and 15, they refer to judicial proceedings opened following the submission of the motions and arguments brief. Therefore they are admissible under the said Article 57(2). 145. In addition, on May 7, 2014, the parties were asked to forward different documents. 96 On May 22, 2014, the representatives forwarded information and the documentation requested, which this Court admits. Meanwhile, the State, in relation to the proceedings held with regard to the members of the Medina family, only presented, on May 28 and 29, 2014, a copy “of the complaint and identification of the complainant of March 4, 2014, filed by the Central Electoral Board against […] Willia[n] Medina Ferreras.” The State was asked to provide several clarifications, and these were submitted 10 days after the expiry of the non-extendible time limit granted (supra para. 20). The representatives and the Commission presented observations and the former contested the admissibility of the documentation (supra para. 20). Based on the assertions of the representatives and given that its submission was 10 days after the respective nonextendible time limit had expired, the Court considers that this documentation is inadmissible because its presentation was time-barred. 146.

Under Article 58(a) of it Rules of Procedure “[t]he Court may, at any stage of the proceedings: (a) Obtain, on its own motion, any evidence it considers helpful and necessary.” The Court considers that the following documents are helpful and necessary for the analysis of this case, and therefore incorporates them into the body of evidence ex officio, in application of the said regulatory provision: (a) Preliminary observations from the IACHR’s Visit to the Dominican Republic, corresponding to the annex to the Press Release of December 6, 2013; 97 (b) Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination: Thirteenth and fourteenth periodic reports of the Dominican Republic of March 7, 2012, and Concluding observations on the thirteenth and fourteenth periodic reports of the Dominican Republic of April 19, 2013; 98 (c) 2005 Human Development Report of the Dominican Republic, prepared by the Human Development Office of the United Nations Development Programme; 99 (d) First National Survey on contra William Medina Ferreras,” March 4, 2014; Annex 14, Listín Diario, “JCE se querella contra hombre demandó a RD,” March 5, 2014, and Annex 15, request to annul birth certificate due to fraudulent information provided, record No. 162/2014. 96 The representatives were asked to forward, by May 22, 2014, at the latest, “copies of the identity cards” of two of the presumed victims or, if not, to “provide the corresponding explanations.” The State was asked to send, by the same date at the latest, “a true and full copy of [certain] administrative or judicial procedures or proceedings.” 97 Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, Annex to the Press Release, Preliminary observations from the visit of the IACHRs Visit to the Dominican Republic, December 6, 2013.
