also reported that it has adopted various measures in compliance with the orders of the Tribunal. However, there is a discrepancy among the parties regarding the implementation and efficacy of the protective measures. For that reason, this Presidency deems it opportune to receive updated and detailed information, during a public hearing, on the status of implementation of provisional measures, as well as arguments from the State, the representatives, and the Inter-American Commission on the persistence of a situation of extreme gravity and urgency that prompted the adoption of these measures in favor of the beneficiaries, in order to assess the need for maintaining them in place. 13. This Presidency notes that the parties in their briefs have referred to the conditions of detention in the Unit of Socio-Educational Assistance, as well as those of other Units in the State of Espírito Santo. They also referred to the investigations conducted into acts of violence occurring in the UNIS (supra Considering 5-10). In that regard, this Presidency notes that the detailed analysis of the compatibility of these detention conditions with the American Convention, as well as the State’s duty to investigate such facts, are not the focus of the present provisional measures, which were granted specifically in order “to avoid acts of violence in the SocioEducational Inpatient Unit, as well as harm to the physical, mental, and moral integrity of the committed children and all others who may find themselves inside that establishment.” (supra Considering 4). Finally, this Presidency recalls that the present measures were dictated in relation to events occurring inside the UNIS and not in other juvenile detention facilities, such that the information and the arguments of the parties shall be limited to that context. THEREFORE: THE PRESIDENT OF THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, In utilizing the powers conferred by Articles 63(2) of the American Convention on Human Rights, Articles 24(1) and 25(2) of the Statute of the Court, and Articles 4, 27, and 31(2) of the Rules of Procedure of the Tribunal, 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 the city of Bogota, Colombia on August 25, 2011 from 5:15 pm to 9:00 pm so that the Tribunal may receive arguments from the parties on the provisional measures ordered in this case. 7
