According to statements made by the Government at the hearing of July 30, 1991,
the two principal actors identified by the petitioners as being the persons responsible
for the acts of violence occurring in Chunimá have been arrested in Guatemala. The
Government subsequently transmitted to the Court facsimiles of the newspapers
reporting that information.
The Court is of the opinion that the measures taken on behalf of the persons listed in
the President's order must be extended, a position with which the Government
concurred at the hearing. The Court also believes that the Government must specify
what protection it is granting or offering each of these persons.
