4 3. that: In this regard, article 25 of the Rules of Procedure of the Court establishes 1. At any stage of the proceedings involving cases of extreme gravity and urgency, and when necessary to avoid irreparable damage to persons, the Court may, at the request of a party or on its own motion, order such provisional measures as it deems pertinent, pursuant to Article 63(2) of the Convention. 2. With respect to matters not yet submitted to it, the Court may act at the request of the Commission. 4. The background supplied by the Commission in its request for provisional measures, pertaining to events at the Urso Branco Prison, demonstrates prima facie a situation of extreme gravity and urgency with respect to the rights of the inmates to life and to personal safety. 5. The Inter-American Commission has requested that the State adopt precautionary measures, which have not led to the required effects in terms of protection and, instead, recent events make it reasonable to presume that the safety and lives of the inmates are at great risk and very vulnerable. Therefore, circumstances require that the State adopt provisional measures to avoid irreparable damage to said persons. 6. Article 1(1) of the Convention states the duty of the States Party to respect the rights and freedoms protected by the Convention, and to ensure their free and full exercise by all persons under their jurisdiction, including, in the instant case, the inmates at Urso Branco Prison. Therefore, the State must adopt the security measures required to protect the rights and freedoms of all individuals under its jurisdiction, which becomes even more evident in connection with those who are involved in proceedings before the supervisory bodies of the American Convention.1 7. While this Court has at other times deemed it necessary to individualize persons in danger of suffering irreparable damage so as to grant them protective measures,2 in the instant case the beneficiaries are identifiable, as “[i]n all places where persons are detained, there must be a bound record book with numbered pages stating for each detainee: a) His or her identity; b) The reason they are detained and the competent authority that ordered their detention; c) The day and time of their entry and exit.”3 Therefore this Court deems that the State must 1 See Case of the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó, Provisional Measures.
