That it is necessary that the Court receive from the parties -in full and in a timely
fashion- the information on the status of the provisional measures ordered to protect each
beneficiary, in order to effectively control the due implementation of said measures. As a
consequence, the Court considers desirable to keep the provisional measures in force and to
ask the representatives to submit any pending comments and to inform the Court on the
persistence of the specific risk situation of each beneficiary, and particularly on any event
taking place during 2007 and 2008 that may give reasons to the Court to assume that there
still exists a situation of extreme gravity and urgency, in order that the Court may
determine, within a period of six months, the need to maintain said protection measures. If
within the specified timeframe no information has been furnished, the Court shall decide on
the rescission of the provisional measures.
NOW THEREFORE,
THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS,
by virtue of the authority conferred upon it under Article 63(2) of the American Convention
on Human Rights, and Articles 25 and 29 of its Rules of Procedure,
DECIDES:

2.
To call upon the representatives, in compliance with the provisions of Considering
paragraph No. 12 herein, to submit as soon as practicable, any comments pending
submission and, in particular, the concrete information on the situation of the beneficiaries
of the provisional measures so ordered. In said comments the representatives shall
accurately specify if there is a continuing situation of extreme gravity and urgency calling
for actions to avoid irreparable damage to persons in order that the Court may determine
the need to maintain said protection measures. If within six months from the date this
Order is served no information has been furnished, the Court shall decide on the rescission
of the provisional measures.
3.
To call upon the State to submit, no later than June 9, 2008, a report on the

situation of each beneficiary of the provisional measures, the protection measures adopted
in relation to them and the current status and results of the ongoing investigations of the
events that gave rise to said measures. After submission of said report, the State must
keep the Inter-American Court informed on a two-month basis of the provisional measures
adopted.
