5 11. That the Court is aware, as a result of the recent information provided by the representatives of the beneficiaries (supra sixth “Having Seen”), that the High Court of Barbados has temporarily stayed the execution of the death warrants with respect to Messrs. Boyce and Joseph. The Tribunal considers this a positive development and a crucial step on the part of the State to protect the fundamental human rights of the individuals in question, as well as to facilitate the processing of their cases in accordance with the requirements of the American Convention. 12. That the State has failed to submit, as of the date of this Order, the report required by the abovementioned Order of September 17, 2004 (supra tenth “Having Seen”). 13. That as a consequence of the above, the Court considers that the measures mandated by the President’s Order of September 17, 2004 (supra fourth “Having Seen”) must be maintained, and for this reason ratifies the Order in all of its terms. THEREFORE: THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, in accordance with Article 63(2) of the American Convention and Article 25 of the Rules of Procedure, DECIDES: 1. To ratify the President’s Order of September 17, 2004 (supra fourth “Having Seen”) and to require the State to adopt without delay all necessary measures to comply with that Order. 2. To require the State to inform the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, within 10 days of the notification of the present Order, regarding the steps it has taken in fulfillment of this Order. 3. To require the representatives of the beneficiaries of the present provisional measures to submit their observations on the State’s report within five days of its reception, and to require the Commission to submit its observations on the State’s report within seven days of its reception. 4. To require the State, after the submission of its first report, to inform the Court every two months regarding the measures it adopts, and to require the representatives of the beneficiaries of the present provisional measures and the Commission to submit their observations on those State reports within four and six weeks, respectively, of the reception of such reports. 5. To notify the State, the Inter-American Commission, and the representatives of the beneficiaries of the present Order.
