13 treatment of the persons that have been deprived of their liberty, is that of providing such persons with the minimum decent conditions while they remain in the detention centers.” 8 Additionally, the protection of life of all people deprived of their liberty “requires that the State be particularly concerned with the living conditions during the time that liberty is deprived, as that right has not expired nor has it been restricted because of the detention or imprisonment.” 9 12. That the State obligation to protect all the persons under its jurisdiction also encompasses the duty to control the action of third parties, an erga omnes obligation. 10 13. That the problem of detention centers requires medium and long term actions in order to adapt its conditions to international standards. However, the States are obliged to implement prompt actions to guarantee the physical, psychological and moral integrity of inmates, as well as their right to life and to enjoy the minimum conditions of a dignified life. 11 * * * 14. That although this Tribunal favorably views the actions taken by the State in compliance with the provisional measures ordered in the present case, a situation of extreme gravity and urgency and of possible irreparable damage to the rights to life and humane treatment of the inmates at the Monagas Judicial Confinement Center ("La Pica") persists. 15.
