Convention on June 21, 1985.
2.
Article 63(2) of the American Convention states that in cases of “extreme
gravity and urgency, and whenever it is necessary to prevent irreparable harm to

the Commission, will adopt the provisional measures that may deem relevant.
3.
The terms of Article 24(5) of the Rules of Procedure of the Court:
If the Court is not sitting, the President shall convoke it immediately. Pending the
meeting of the Court, the President, in consultation with the Permanent Commission and,
if possible, with the other judges, shall call upon the government concerned to adopt the
necessary urgent measures and to act so as to permit any provisional measures
subsequently ordered by the Court to have the requisite effect.
