16. Regarding the recurrent violence and weapons within the prison, facts which have been acknowledged by the State, the State must ensure that the measures of security adopted in prisons include adequate trainings for the prison staff and the effectiveness of these measures to prevent intra-prison violence, including the ability to react in the face of acts of violence or emergencies within cell blocks. The State must ensure that inspections are carried out periodically and correctly in order to prevent violence and eliminate risks, based on an adequate and effective control by the prison guards within the cell blocks, and that the results of these inspections are communicated duly and promptly to the competent authorities. 14 17. Accordingly, the Inter-American Court considers that the protection of such persons is necessary through the immediate adoption of provisional measures by the State, pursuant to the provisions of the American Convention, in order to prevent acts of violence at the Curado Complex, as well as harm to the physical, mental and moral integrity of those deprived of liberty and other persons within that establishment. 18. In addition, it should be recalled that Article 1(1) of the Convention establishes the general obligations of States Parties to respect the rights and freedoms recognized therein and to ensure all persons subject to their jurisdiction the free and full exercise of these, those of which are imposed not only in relation to State powers but also in relation to actions by third parties. This Court has held that the State is in a special position as guarantor with respect to persons deprived of liberty because prison authorities exercise total control over them. The Court has also stated that regardless of the existence of specific provisional measures, the State is especially obliged to guarantee the rights of people deprived of liberty.15 19. In the circumstances of this matter, the Court must require, for the effects of these provisional measures, that the State eliminate, specifically, the risk of violent death and of attacks on personal integrity. To this end, the measures adopted must include those aimed directly at protecting the rights to life and integrity of the beneficiaries, in the context of both the relations among the inmates themselves and with the State agents, as well as those designed to eliminate these risks, particularly in relation to the deficient internal control and security conditions of the Curado Complex.16 Provisional Measures by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights regarding Venezuela.
