2) Subsequently, by Decision 005 of January 26, 2009, concerning the “[p]rotection of the fundamental rights of the Afro-descendant population, victim of forced displacement, in the context of the state of unconstitutionality declared in judgment T025 of 2004,” the Second Review Chamber of the Constitutional Court declared the members of the said population to be “subject to special constitutional protection.” In this Decision, the Constitutional Court mentioned the communities of the Jiguamiandó and of the Curvaradó as “emblematic cases that reflect the gravity of the humanitarian crisis faced by the Afro-Colombian population regarding whom it is necessary adopt a specific prevention, attention, and protection plan.” The Constitutional Court stated that the provisional measures ordered by the Inter-American Court were binding and ordered compliance with them, stipulating that “[t]hese measures include the request to the Colombian State that it adopt and maintain mechanisms to protect the life and personal integrity of the members and of the families of the said communities; that it ensure to the individuals who belong to them the possibility of continuing to live in the areas where they have traditionally resided, without coercion or threat, and that it guarantee to the communities, their members and families that have been displaced, safe conditions to return to their homes.” In addition, it indicated that the AfroColombian communities should be beneficiaries of “specific protection and attention plans that guarantee both the collective dimension of their rights, and the rights of the individuals who are members of these communities, in the context of the policy of attention to the displaced population and of the differentiated approach.” Thus, the Constitutional Court ordered: “measures for the protection of the territorial rights of the Afro-Colombian communities,” and “measures for the protection of the rights of the Afro-Colombian communities and their members as victims of internal forced displacement and of confinement.” These measures were to be implemented by different State authorities. In addition, the Constitutional Court ordered the Ministry of the Interior and Justice, today Ministry of the Interior, and the Ministry of Defense to submit bi-monthly reports to the Ombudsman’s Office on the measures taken to comply with the provisional measures ordered by the Inter-American Court in relation to the communities of Jiguamiandó and Curvaradó. 3) By the Decision of May 18, 2010, the Special Supervisory Chamber for judgment T-025 of 2004 and the follow-up decisions of the Constitutional Court (hereinafter “Special Supervisory Chamber”) recorded the “grave situation of public order in the region where the communities of Curvaradó and Jiguamiandó are located, [which falls within the framework …] of conditions inherent in armed conflict.” It also emphasized the grave situation of danger and of threat of these communities, and indicated that they had been subjected to “harassment, accusations and persecution, all of which make it necessary to take measures of prevention, and protection of life and personal integrity, and to counter possible new displacements.” Therefore, it ordered the adoption of “preventive measures of immediate protection to safeguard the fundamental rights of the Afro-Colombian communities of Curvaradó and Jiguamiandó, victims of forced displacement.” These measures are of both a collective and an individual nature, the latter in favor of different members and leaders of the communities. 4) By Decision 384 of December 10, 2010, the Special Supervisory Chamber granted the Ministry of the Interior an extension of the time frame for complying with the orders issued by the Decision of May 18, 2010 (supra considering paragraph 49.3), and ordered the Ministry to present bi-monthly reports on progress in implementing them. 20
