The arguments of the Commission to justify its request for provisional
measures, wherein it stated that:
a.
b.
c.
d.
the facts against Ms. Guerrero-Gallucci foreshadow acts against her life
and personal integrity, due to her denouncement activities (supra
Having Seen clauses No. 2(b) and (c));
even though the State has adopted measures of protection in favor of
the beneficiaries, according to the information furnished by the
petitioners, the protection provided is not sufficiently adequate to
effectively protect beneficiaries’ lives. Threats became true “in the
form of extremely grave acts against physical integrity aimed at
deprivation of life;”
it ratified its deep concern for the alleged hostility and threats against
the life and physical integrity of human rights defenders in Venezuela;
and
the special impact of aggressions against the right to life of human
rights defenders lies in that their damaging effect reaches much
beyond the direct victims.

The request of the Inter-American Commission so that the Court, based on
Article 63(2) of the American Convention, may call upon the State to:
a.
adopt, forthwith, whatever measures are necessary to safeguard
beneficiaries’ lives and personal integrity, in keeping with the
requirements and means described herein;
b.
allow the beneficiaries and their representatives to participate in the
planning and implementation of the measures of protection;
c.
conduct serious, complete and prompt investigations into the acts of
aggression against the beneficiaries, identify those responsible and
impose on them the corresponding punishment, as a prevention
mechanism to avoid the recurrence of threats or the occurrence of
irreparable damage to the beneficiaries; and
d.
report, as soon as possible, on any progress made in and the outcome
of the investigations undertaken to identify and punish those
responsible for the facts giving rise to the request.
