5 is particularly compelling in the case of persons currently the subject of a proceeding before the supervisory organs of the American Convention.3 6. That the urgent measures ordered by the President on November 3, 2008 (supra Having Seen 6), are in force. 7. That in this case the measures requested in favor of Mr. Cadogan seek to allow the organs of the Inter-American system of human rights protection to evaluate the possible existence of violations of the American Convention to his detriment. 8. That the Court observed in the case of Boyce et al. v. Barbados, inter alia, that: 113. […] it is fundamental that litigants be able to complete their […] petitions and applications before the Commission and Court, respectively, before any execution may be carried out. This is a natural consequence of Barbados’ ratification of the American Convention and recognition of the jurisdiction of this Court. A different reading of the Convention would be contrary to its object and purpose, and would render the access of the individual to the Inter-American System, as well as Articles 62(3) and 63(1) of such instrument, meaningless.4 9. That if the State executes Mr. Tyrone DaCosta Cadogan before the processing of his case before this Court is completed, it would cause an irreparable situation as well as constitute conduct incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention.5 10. That the situation described in the present case (supra Having Seen 2, 3, 7, and 8) reveals prima facie the possible existence of a situation of extreme gravity and urgency, rendering it necessary to avoid irreparable damage to the right to life and physical integrity of Mr. Tyrone DaCosta Cadogan. 11. That the adoption of these provisional measures does not entail a decision on the 6 merits of the controversy. 3 Cf. Matter of Giraldo Cardona. Provisional Measures regarding Colombia.
