50. Despite this ruling by the Court, these surveillance patrols continue to be the mechanism by which the State implements the provisional measures ordered by this Court, without providing information on the adoption of other means of protection. The Court takes cognizance of and appreciates the information provided by the State, regarding the fact that it is carrying out the pertinent procedures to assign the Barrios family two apartments to serve as shelters, through the Great Housing Mission. Furthermore, it notes that, according to more recent information submitted by the representatives, in November 2012 two apartments were provided to two of the beneficiaries of these measures, through another state institution. However, the Court does not have sufficient information to know whether the handover of those apartments forms part of the implementation of these measures or if, as the representatives suggest, other apartments could be assigned to the rest of the beneficiaries who are members of the Barrios family. In this regard, the Court requests that the State refer to this information, within the term established in the operative part of this Order, as well as to the proposal of the representatives in this regard (supra Considering para. 36). In any case, the Court considers it imperative to continue implementing other measures of protection, different from the surveillance patrols at the homes of some beneficiaries, so as to effectively protect the life and personal integrity of members of the Barrios family. 51. The Court insists that in order to ensure the effective application of the rights enshrined in the American Convention, States Parties have the obligation, erga omnes, to protect all persons under their jurisdiction, even in relation to the actions of third parties or irregular armed groups of any nature. 31 Taking into account the deaths of two more beneficiaries, as well as the rest of the foregoing considerations, the Court considers that the State has not effectively applied the provisional measures ordered by this Court in its previous Orders (supra Having Seen 1). 52. Given the grave situation facing the beneficiaries, as demonstrated by the latest events, the Court reiterates that the State must adopt immediately and effectively the necessary and special measures to protect and guarantee the life and personal integrity of all the beneficiaries of the measures, in accordance with the Orders issued by the Court on November 25, 2010 and February 21, and July 5, 2011, so as to eradicate the sources of risk, prevent facts such as those described from being repeated and allow the beneficiaries to lead their lives normally and without fear. 53. The Court considers it necessary that the State adopt all the measures necessary to ensure the effective implementation of the protection measures. To this end, the Court deems it essential that Venezuela, after hearing the opinion of the beneficiaries, include in their protection scheme any measures necessary to provide them with effective protection during their movements and travel, within or outside the area where they live. In this regard, the Court urges the beneficiaries and their representatives to offer the State the necessary collaboration for this purpose. The State shall guarantee the security and confidentiality of the information provided by the beneficiaries. Also, the Court once again asks the State to provide immediate and effective security for each of the beneficiaries of the measures, by means of permanent guard measures, as well as to the homes of Maritza Barrios and Orismar Carolina Alzul García, and to agree on more comprehensive provisional measures in the context of the dialogue between beneficiaries and State. In the event that this is not possible, the State is requested to submit to the Court the relevant explanations, as well as an alternative measure of protection to improve the effectiveness of these measures. The Court requests that the State submit, within the term established in the operative part of this Order, detailed and complete information on any measures that it has adopted and will adopt to make these measures more effective in favor of all the beneficiaries, including those who do not live in the state of Aragua, bearing in mind the foregoing considerations. 31 Cf.
