Rules of Procedure, the burden of proving these requirements prima facie rests with the applicant.15 11. In this regard, in terms of gravity for the adoption of provisional measures, the Convention requires that it involve “extreme” gravity, that is, an intense or high level of gravity. The urgency implies that the risk or threat must be imminent, which also presupposes that the response to remedy it must be immediate. Finally, as to the damage, there must exist a reasonable probability that the damage is caused and it must not involve a legally protected interest capable of being repaired. 16 12. In this regard, the Court finds that, on this occasion, the representatives did not provide information proving prima facie that Ms. Millacura and her next-of-kin are in a situation of extreme gravity and urgency and risk of irreparable harm to their lives and personal integrity. As such, the Court notes that the only specific risk mentioned by the representatives was that of an alleged gunshot outside the family home on May 11, 2013, after which Ms. Fabiola Valeria Torres had left her home and saw two “hooded” persons in a car parked 40 meters away. It is not clear from the information provided whether these events were related to the events that led to the adoption of provisional measures in this case, those being, a result of the investigation of the forced disappearance of Iván Eladio Torres Millacura. 17 The Court also notes that, according to information provided by the State, on the day of the events described by the representatives, no anomalies where perceived during the rounds carried out by the Argentine Coast Guard, nor were there any complaints filed. Moreover, while the representatives reported that Ms. Millacura Llaipén’s life was threatened “repeatedly” by police in the province of Chubut , they did not provide sufficient specific information regarding the time, manner, and place to prove that these threats occurred to Ms. Millacura Llaipén and her next-of-kin, thereby placing their lives and personal integrity at risk. 13. For these reasons, the Court finds that the information submitted by the parties and the Commission concludes that the conditions established in Article 63(2) of the Convention were not met, for which the request for provisional measures submitted by the representatives regarding Ms. Millacura Llaipén and her next-of-kin must be dismissed. 14. On the other hand, in regard to Miguel Angel Sanchez and Tamara Bolívar, the representatives did not present any information to establish, prima facie, that they face a situation of extreme gravity and urgency and risk of irreparable harm. Indeed, as reported by the representatives, their concern regarding Mr. Miguel Ángel Sánchez arises from the fact that they have tried unsuccessfully to contact him at the numbers they were provided by him, which is not in itself sufficient to establish the conventional requirements. Thus, the request for provisional measures filed on behalf of such persons is dismissed. 15. Finally, in regard to Iván Eladio Torres, the Court notes that the representatives had previously requested an extension of the provisional measures for him. The Court ruled on those requests in its Orders of November 25, 2011, and November 21, 2012, that were issued in this 15 Cf. Matter of Belfort Istúriz et al. Provisional Measures regarding Venezuela.
