4 respect to a case not yet submitted to the Court, it may act at the request of the Commission. 5. That pursuant to Article 25 (1) of the Rules of Procedure: [a]t any stage of the proceedings involving cases of extreme gravity and urgency and when necessary to avoid irreparable damage to persons, the Court may, at the request of a party or on its own motion, order whatever provisional measures it deems appropriate, pursuant to Article 63(2) of the Convention. 6. That the Commission is considering the Cases referred to in the Commission’s request, and has informed the Court that “in each of these cases, the petition states facts that tend to establish a violation of the rights guaranteed under the Convention.” 7. That the Cases included in the Request for amplification have not been submitted to the Court and the consideration of the issues at hand is, therefore, based upon the State’s procedural obligations as a Party to the American Convention, rather than on the merits of each Case. Therefore, the Court will consider the request of the Commission in the light of the elements to be taken into account in conformity with Article 63(2) of the Convention, that is, the existence of a situation of extreme gravity and urgency and the necessity to avoid irreparable damage to persons. 8. That, under the instant circumstances, the information presented by the Commission provides prima facie grounds for the Court to conclude that a situation of “extreme gravity and urgency” exists, making it imperative to order the State to adopt, without delay, the Provisional Measures necessary to preserve the life and physical integrity of the alleged victims. 9. That the States Parties to the Convention should comply in good faith (pacta sunt servanda) with all of the provisions of the Convention, including those relative to the operation of the two supervisory organs of the Inter-American system; and, that in view of the Convention’s fundamental objective of guaranteeing the effective protection of human rights (Articles 1(1), 2, 51 and 63(2)), States Parties must refrain from taking actions that may frustrate the restitutio in integrum of the rights of the alleged victims. 10. That Article 29 of the American Convention provides that: [n]o provision of this Convention shall be interpreted as: a. permitting any State Party, group, or person to suppress the enjoyment or exercise of the rights and freedoms recognised in this Convention or to restrict them to a greater extent than is provided for herein. 11. That, should the State execute the alleged victims, it would create an irremediable situation incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention, would amount to a disavowal of the authority of the Commission, and would adversely affect the very essence of the Inter-American system.
