information requested by the Court (supra having seen paragraph 5), and advised that, on March 12, 2013, the Constitutional Court had ruled on an appeal relating to the extradition of Wong Ho Wing. 7. The brief of May 4, 2013, in which the State presented its observations on the report presented by the Inter-American Commission. In this brief, the State requested that these provisional measures be lifted, considering that “the decision of the Constitutional Court ordering that Wong Ho Wing should not be extradited was legally binding for the Executive Branch and all other entities of the State.” 8. The brief of May 13, 2013, in which the Commission presented its observations on the request of the State to lift these measures (supra having seen paragraph 7). CONSIDERING THAT: 1. Peru ratified the American Convention on Human Rights (hereinafter also “the American Convention” or “the Convention”) on July 28, 1978, and, in accordance with its Article 62, accepted the binding jurisdiction of the Court on January 21, 1981. 2. Article 63(2) of the American Convention stipulates that in “cases of extreme gravity and urgency, and when necessary to avoid irreparable damage to persons,” the Court may, in matters not yet submitted to its consideration, order the provisional measures that it deems pertinent at the request of the Commission. This provision is, in turn, regulated in Article 27 of the Court’s Rules of Procedure. 3. Article 63(2) of the Convention requires that, for the Court to be able to order provisional measures, three conditions must concur: (i) “extreme gravity”; (ii) “urgency” and (iii) that the purpose is to “avoid irreparable damage to persons.” These three conditions must coexist and be present in any situation in which the Court is asked to intervene. In the same way, these three conditions must persist for the Court to maintain the protection ordered. If one of them has ceased to be valid, the Court must assess the pertinence of continuing the protection ordered. 1 4. The Court recalls that these provisional measures were granted for the first time on May 28, 2010, at the request of the Inter-American Commission in the context of petition P366-09, 2 in view of the prima facie danger of the risk inherent extraditing an individual who 1 Cf.
