previous year.
CONSIDERING:
1.
That the extended deadline of the provisional measures established in
resolutory part 7 of the Court's Decision of December 1, 1994 , expires on June 1,
1995;
2.
That to date, the Government has adopted provisions to comply with the
requests made by the Inter-American Court; however, no "credible information" has
been presented demonstrating that the circumstances of extreme gravity and
urgency have ceased, especially with regard to compliance with the "arrest warrant
issued against the 13 patrol members charged as suspects in the case before the
Second Trial Court of Huehuetenango involving the criminal acts which took place on
August 3, 1993, in Colotenango." That although the efforts made by the Government
in adopting provisional measures show willingness to comply with the requests, they
have not been fully implemented;
3.
That the information sent by the Commission and the Government to the
Court is contradictory on some points, specifically in relation to the arrested patrol
members;
4.
That according to the document submitted by the Commission today, there
exists information revealing continuing acts of intimidation and threats against the
persons for which the provisional measures were adopted and for some of these
people the right to movement and residence are still restricted. Therefore, there is a
continued concern for the prevention of human rights violation by the Court;
5.
That, if upon expiration of the extended deadline granted to the Government
by the Court in its Decision of December 1, 1994, no credible information has been
received on the effective results of the provisional measures that were adopted,
making it necessary to extend the requested measures in order to protect the right
to life and integrity of the persons for which such measures were requested.
NOW, THEREFORE:
THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS,
based on Article 63(2) of the American Convention on Human Rights and exercising
the authority conferred on it by Articles 24 and 45 of the Rules of Procedure,
DECIDES:
1.
To extend until February 1, 1996, the provisional measures ordered pursuant
to the Court's decision of June 22, 1994, and expanded pursuant to the decision of
December 1, 1994, on the Colotenango Case.
2.
To request that the Government of Guatemala submit credible information to
the Court every 45 days as of the date of this Order, regarding the effective results
of the measures adopted in the course of said term.
3.
To request that the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights inform the
Court of any fact or circumstance that it deems important to the execution of such
measures.
