5
of two police cars per shift, 24 hours a day at the home of Mrs. Socorro Mosquera, and that
she also has a cellular phone provided by the Protection Program of the Department of the
Interior and Justice.

That in its observations, the representative indicated that the adequate security
conditions that will allow Mrs. María del Socorro Mosquera to return home are not those
informed by the State since the latter “[i]s in the obligation to offer the beneficiaries and
their representative participation in the planning and implementation of the measures to be
taken.”. The representative stated that he has repeated to the State that Mrs. Socorro
Mosquera “[d]oes not live at the home where her children reside, but the Metropolitan
Police insists on guarding it, assuming on occasions hostile attitudes against [her] children”
who live there. Besides, the representative informed that the security offered by agents of
the Metropolitan Police has been suspended upon request of the beneficiary even though
the State has not taken any effective measure of material protection. In these terms, it
asked this Tribunal that the measures adopted by the State be agreed on with the
beneficiary and the representative maintaining her domicile undisclosed.

That the Inter-American Commission reiterated that it does not have elements
regarding the determination of the location of Socorro Mosquera, which must be provided by
the representative to the State in order to assign the protection. Besides, it referred to
“[t]he importance that the design and coordination of material protection measures be
decided with the participation of the beneficiaries and their representatives, without
overlooking the efforts destined to eliminating the risk factors within the framework of
mechanisms of commitment.”

That in its Order of September 22, 2006 (supra Having Seen paragraph 2) the InterAmerican Court stated that “[w]ith regard to María del Socorro Mosquera Londoño, the
Commission and the representatives have reported that she is an intra-urban displaced
person and that, due to the danger that exists, it has been decided to keep information on
her current place of residence confidential; moreover, at the present time, she has no plans
to return to her family home […].” In this sense, the Tribunal ordered that once the
beneficiary informed of her desire to return to her home it be informed to the State so that
it could immediately adopt all necessary measures to protect her life and personal integrity
(Considering Paragraph number 12 of the Order of September 22, 2006). Of the information
presented by the representative it cannot be concluded that this situation has occurred,
which prevents the State from implementing the measures of protection in favor of Mrs.
Mosquera Londoño. The Court reiterates that the beneficiary’s decision to maintain her
domicile confidential must be respected and that the implementation of the measures of
protection in her favor must be previously agreed on with the representatives (supra Having
Seen Paragraph 2).
18.
In view of the aforementioned, it is necessary that the parties inform the Tribunal of
the measures agreed on with regard to this matter in order to supervise their correct
implementation.
