17 the effective investigation of the events which prompted the adoption of the present provisional measures. To this effect, the State shall submit two reports, one on April 2, 2007, and the other on July 1, 2007. Accordingly, the Inter-American Commission and the beneficiaries or their representatives will have a period of six and four weeks, respectively, measured from the date of receipt of said State reports, to present the observations they deem pertinent. On the basis of such reports and observations, the Court will evaluate the appropriateness of lifting or extending the provisional mesarures, in accordance with the criteria established in Article 63(2) of the Convention. 13. The Court has previously ordered the protection of a group of individuals that have not been identified by name, although they are in fact identifiable and determinable, and they are indeed in a situation of grave danger due to their membership as part of a community.6 In the present case, the Court has found that the Kankuamo indigenous community is composed of approximately 6,000 members who can be individually identified as living in organized communities, located geographically on the southeastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains, divided among the departments of Magdalena, Guajira, and Cesar, and whose population centers include Atánquez, Chemesquemena, Guatapurí, Las Flores, Pontón, Mojado, Ramalito, Rancho de la Goya, Los Háticos, La Mina, Murillo and Rioseco. The Court further finds that, because these communities form part of the Kankuamo indigenous community, they are all in a situation of equal risk of being victims of acts of aggression against their lives, personal integrity, personal liberty, as well as the risk of being forcefully displaced from their territory.7 14. It is indispensable that these provisional measures be maintained in full force and continue to operate until the Tribunal orders them lifted and notifies the State to this effect.8 THEREFORE: THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, in accordance with the authority vested in the Court by Article 63(2) of the American Convention and Articles 25 and 29 of its Rules of Procedure, RESOLVES: 6 Cf., inter alia, Matter of The Communities of Jiguamiandó and Curbaradó.
