Therefore, there is a comprehensive connection between the guarantees established in the Convention of Belém do Pará and the basic rights and liberties stipulated in the American Convention, which applies when dealing with the violence against women as a breach to human rights. Arguments of the common intervener 229. Regarding the alleged violation of Article 4 of the Convention, in relation to Article 1(1) of the same, the common intervener argued that: “The flagrant violation of the principle of general law of the fundamental considerations of humanity in the case sub judice” a) from the evidence it can be concluded that the facts were a “deliberate military attack by the State against persons imprisoned under its custody, defenseless, behind bars in a building, [without means of escape], among which there were people in advanced stages of pregnancy, elderly women, and handicapped persons, who were submitted to four days of an uninterrupted use of armed force by air and land, with weapons especially chosen to cause an atrocious and inhuman damage […] with the objective of exterminating them.” Said attack violated all consideration of humanity with regard to the life and integrity of the prisoners; “The existence of an armed conflict and the right to life and integrity of the prisoners of pavilions 1A and 4B” b) the people who were detained in the criminal center were civilians under the State’s custody and, therefore, they were protected by common Article 3 of the Conventions of Geneva, which prohibits attacks against people who, within an armed conflict, are not taking part in the hostilities, are out of combat, or imprisoned; “Hermeneutics of humanitarian law and the right to human rights” c) the operative in the prison “Castro Castro” had the illegal purpose of murdering the prisoners in mass, “therefore the application of proportionality tests does not apply here.
