provide the security systems. They considered that: (i) the personnel is not permanent and is changed without prior notice; (ii) there is no analysis of their police career; (iii) they do not have specific training; (iv) they are unaware of the reason for their presence or need; (v) they have no means of communicating with their superiors, although the Foundation provides them with “radios with a relay station to be able to communicate among themselves and with the FAFG;” (vi) they are not given guidance by the Ministry of the Interior to be able to form part of the investigation team; (vii) the agents assigned to personal security (escorts) are not supervised; (viii) they have nowhere safe to leave their weapons during their time off, hence they leave them at the beneficiaries’ homes or take them home; (ix) they have no place to rest or use the restroom, so the beneficiaries have to provide accommodation, and (x) they are not given a food allowance, so the FAFG “based on human decency […] provides them with food and a per diem.” 11. Regarding the Foundation’s other employees, in their observations of September 2010, the representatives indicated that, of the 61 FAFG employees protected by these provisional measures, 23 of them7 no longer work for the Foundation; they therefore asked that the protection measures in favor of those individuals be “withdrawn,” and that the measures be “extended” to 58 individuals8 who started working for the FAFG after the provisional measures had been granted, and thus were not included in the measures. 12. In relation to the risk assessment, during the above-mentioned public hearing, Guatemala advised that the National Police had carried out a risk assessment of Fredy Peccerelli and his family, as well as of the Foundation’s premises. Regarding the representatives’ observations (supra considering paragraph 10), the State explained that the main method used for these assessments was to interview the beneficiaries in order to learn their needs; it indicated the parameters used to make these assessments and the procedure followed, and that they were carried out by agents of the Division for the Protection of Persons and Security of the National Civil Police, who contacted the FAFG Director by telephone previously in order to agree on the time and date. It added that “[t]he results of the risk assessment are reflected in the implementation of the measures.” Furthermore, in relation to the representatives’ comments concerning the accommodation, food and per diem of the agents assigned to protect the beneficiaries (supra considering paragraph 10), Guatemala indicated that “it has never conditioned the provision of protection to the beneficiary having to provide [these expenses] related to the logistics of the service.” It added that “most [agents …] do not have an allowance 7 These individuals are: Adriana Gabriela Santos Bremme, Alan Gabriel Robinsón Cañedo, Álvaro Luis Jacobo González, Carlos René Jacinto, Dania Marianela Rodríguez Martínez, Elder Rodolfo Urbina Urizar, Erick Oswaldo Duque Hernández, Estuardo Guevara, Fernando Arturo López Antillon, Flavio Abel Montufar Dardon, Gillian Margaret Fowler, Gustavo Cosme Godínez, Irma Yolanda Morales Bucu, José Fernando Alonzo Martínez, Juan Carlos Patzán Morales, Liesl Marie Cohn de Léon, Lourdes Lorena Herrera Sipaque, Lourdes Sofía Chew Pazos, Manuel Antonio Meneses Ruiz, Maria Raquel Doradea, Mynor Alexander Urízar Chavarría, Myrna Graciela Díaz Gularte and Reina Patricia Ixcot Chávez. 8 The individuals for whom the extension of the protection of these provisional measures was requested are: Alberto Orantes Castillo, Ana Inés Samayoa Cruz, Ana María Jiménez, Andrea Cárcamo Roma, Basilia Gabriela López, Beatriz Irlanda Calderón Díaz, Carla Paola Leysan, Carlos Alberto Espigares Luarca, Carlos Cristóbal Cax Méndez, Carmen Abac Baquiax, Cristhyan Roberto Tórtola Meda, Daniel Alonzo Jiménez Gaytán, Daniela María Alarcón Flores, Eddy Armando Joaquín Gómez, Edgar Alberto Telón del Cid, Freddy Agusto Muñoz Guzmán, Felipe Israel Valle Rodríguez, Gabriela Alejandra Meléndez Méndez, Gabriela Sofía Padilla, Gerson Oved Martínez, Jennifer Lila Towbridge, Jenny Milsa Sontay Morales, Jorge Alberto Molina, Jorge Isaac Rodríguez, Jorge Mario Rodríguez, José Antonio Aguilar Toj, Juan de Jesús Orozco Pérez, Juana Elizabeth Cedillo, Luis Alejandro Larios Diéguez, Luis Eduardo Martínez Villegas, Luis Odonel Zetino, Luisa Mayen Camey, Marco David García King, Marco Vinicio Yoc Aguilar, María de los Ángeles Garnica Oliva, María del Rosario Espinoza Martínez, María Elena López Chivalan, María Soledad Rodríguez, Melvin Noé Silvestre Silvestre, Miguel Ángel Ruiz Corado, Mishel Marie Stephenson Ojea, Mónica Casado, Nancy Lorena Vela, Nelson Gerardo Tavico Leguarca, Ofelia Nohemí Chirix García, Patricia Maribel Álvarez Gómez, Petrona Marcelina Chel López, Rodolfo Alberto Leiva Solís, Rosalina Amparo Ramírez Mejía, Samuel Cax Boror, Sebastián Yurrita de la Fuente, Selket Susana Callejas Martínez, Silke María Gatermann, Susana María Sánchez Agreda, Wendy Carolina Argueta, Wendy Zusseth Castillo Zavala, Willi Guerra Sosa and Yarol Iván León Saravia. 5
