Branco Prison, Rondônia, is being processed, at the merits stage.” In addition, the President observes that the parties have referred in their briefs to the detention conditions in the Urso Branco Prison, as well as to the investigations into the acts of violence that have occurred there (supra considering paragraphs 5 to 10). In this regard, the President recalls that, as can be inferred from the orders on provisional measures issued by the Court in this matter, these have a specific purpose (supra considering paragraph 4), so that analysis of the compatibility with the American Convention of all the detention conditions in Urso Branco, as well as the elements of the investigation into the facts must eventually be considered when examining the merits of case No. 12,568, currently before the Inter-American Commission. Consequently, the parties must take into account this fact in their arguments during the public hearing and in their future briefs. THEREFORE: THE PRESIDENT OF THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, in exercise of the powers conferred on him by Article 63(2) of the American Convention on Human Rights, and Articles 24(1) and 25(2) of the Court’s Statute, and Articles 4, 27, and 31(2) of its Rules of Procedure, DECIDES: 1. To convene the Federative Republic of Brazil, the representatives of the beneficiaries, and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to a public hearing to be held in Bogota, Colombia, on August 25, 2011, from 3 p.m. to 4.45 p.m., so that the Court may receive their arguments concerning the provisional measures ordered in this case. 2. To request the collaboration of the Republic of Colombia, in keeping with the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 3 of Article 26 of the Rules of Procedure, in order to hold the public hearing on provisional measures convened by this order in that country, as well as to facilitate the entry into and departure from its territory of the persons who will represent the Inter-American Commission, the State, and the beneficiaries during the hearing. To this end, the Secretariat is required to notify this order to the Republic of Colombia. 3. To require the Secretariat to notify this order to the Federative Republic of Brazil, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and the representatives of the beneficiaries of these measures.
