of a decision by the Inter-American Commission, on the one hand, delays the extradition procedure, which has continued for more than four years and, on the other hand, delays the failure to define the legal situation of Wong Ho Wing, who is currently deprived of liberty. 11. Consequently, the acting President considers it opportune to require the State and the Inter-American Commission, within the time frame established in the operative paragraphs of this Order, to present updated information so that the Court has all the necessary elements to make an adequate assessment of the implementation and validity of these provisional measures. In particular, the Inter-American Commission is requested to forward complete and detailed information on: (i) the subsistence of a situation of extreme gravity and urgency for Wong Ho Wing that could cause irreparable damage to his rights; (ii) the actual status of Case No. 12,794 before the InterAmerican Commission and, if appropriate, (iii) the approximate date on which it considers that it could reach a decision on the merits of the case. In addition, the State is requested to present current information on the status of the beneficiary’s extradition procedure. 12. The acting President also recalls what has been said in this matter concerning the importance of the mechanism of extradition and the obligation of States to collaborate in this regard. It is in the interests of the community of Nations that individuals who have been accused of certain offenses can be brought to justice. Thus, the international obligations of the States with regard to human rights and the requirements of due process of law must be observed in extradition procedures, while this legal mechanism may not be used as a way to achieve impunity.10 13. Lastly, the acting President reiterates that, until this matter has been decided by the organs of the inter-American system, Peru must continue adopting the necessary measures with regard to Wong Ho Wing, to avoid his extradition and the corresponding administration of justice in the requesting State becoming illusory or ineffective.11 THEREFORE: THE ACTING PRESIDENT OF THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, in exercise of the attributes conferred on him by Article 63(2) of the American Convention and Articles 27 and 31 of the Rules of Procedure of the Court, DECIDES: 1. To require the State, as established in this Order, to abstain from extraditing Wong Ho Wing until March 1, 2013, in order to allow the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to examine and rule on Case of No. 12,794.
