16. The Court finds it pertinent to clarify that a ruling of this Court concerning noncompliance with the provisional measures, owing to the absence of effective protection for a beneficiary, does not constitute an attribution of responsibility to the State for the possible participation of State agents in the said murders. In the context of a proceeding on provisional measures, it is not incumbent on this Court to determine the possible participation of State agents in the said events; but rather it must monitor and assess effective compliance with the provisional measures ordered by the Court, based on a situation of extreme gravity and urgency to prevent irreparable damage to persons. In addition, the Court emphasizes that, in order to ensure that the rights recognized in the American Convention are effective, the State Party has the obligation, erga omnes, to protect all those who are subject to its jurisdiction, including in relation to the actions of private third parties or illegal armed groups of any nature.21 17. Owing to the seriousness of the situation in which the beneficiaries find themselves, which is demonstrated by the death of three beneficiaries over the past year, the Court reiterates that the State must adopt immediately, and effectively, adequate and special measures to protect and to guarantee the life and personal integrity of all the beneficiaries of these measures, in keeping with the provisions of the Orders issued by the Court on November 23, 2004, June 29 and September 22, 2005, February 4 and November 25, 2010, February 21 and July 5, 2011, and February 13, 2013, so as to eliminate the sources of danger, avoid the repetition of acts such as those described, and that the beneficiaries may live their normal lives without fear. THEREFORE: THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, in exercise of its authority under Articles 63(2) of the American Convention on Human Rights and 27 and 31 of the Rules of Procedure of the Court, DECLARES THAT: 1. The death of Roni David Barrios Alzul, which occurred on May 15, 2013, added to the absence of information on the adoption of measures of protection, reveals non-compliance by the State with the provisional measures ordered, contrary to the provisions of Article 63(2) of the American Convention on Human Rights. AND DECIDES: 1. To declare that the provisional measures adopted in favor of Roni David Barrios Alzul no longer have a purpose owing to his decease, as indicated in considering paragraphs 11 to 16 of this Order. 2. To maintain the provisional measures ordered by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in its Orders of November 23, 2004, June 29 and September 22, 2005, February 4 and November 25, 2010, February 21 and July 5, 2011, and February 13, 2013. 21 Cf.
