25 67. That the Court considers the general status of compliance with the pending aspects of the Judgment delivered in the instant case, upon the receipt of the pertinent information, as well as the effective implementation of the provisional measures. * * B) * Provisional Measures 68. That the provisional measures ordered in the Court’s Order on May 12, 2007 (supra Having Seen clause 20) are in force. 69. That according to article 63(2) of the Convention, three conditions must be met in order for the Court to be able to order provisional measures, namely: i) “extreme gravity”; ii) "urgency” and iii) when necessary to avoid “irreparable damage to people.” These three conditions coexist and must be present in every situation where the intervention of the Tribunal is required. By the same token, the conditions above mentioned must continue to exist in order for the Court to maintain the protection so ordered. If one of them is no longer in force, it falls upon the Tribunal to assess the relevance of continuing with the so ordered protection. 70. That by ordering protective measures, the Tribunal, or the person presiding it, does not require, in principle, evidence of the facts that prima facie would seem to comply with the requirements of article 63(2) of the Convention. On the contrary, the need to maintain the protective measures calls for an evaluation of the existence of situations of extreme gravity and urgency in order to avoid irreparable damage that gave rise to those measures, 14 based on the evidence. 71. That, in order to determine whether the situation of extreme gravity and urgency in order to avoid irreparable damage continues to exist, the Court may assess the set of political, historical or cultural factors or circumstances, or of other nature, that affect the beneficiary or his rights or place him in a situation of vulnerability in a certain moment. This situation may increase or decrease in time depending on a great number of variables, but as has been mentioned, only extreme and urgent situations shall call for protection by means of provisional measures. 72. That during the oversight of the implementation of the provisional measures, the Secretariat, following the instructions of the President, has addressed, on several occasions, to the representatives and the Commission to request them to forward their observations to the State's reports. 15 Nor the representatives or the 14 Cf.
