5 Prison and the Gustavo André Unit of Lavalle call for exceptional measures and attention. In agreeing with the assessment of the gravity of the situation, the State expressed a favorable willingness to find and apply response actions to avoid the occurrence of further deaths in the abovementioned penitentiary centers. Taking all these elements into consideration, the Court has emphasized the fact that priority measures for the avoidance of new impairment of the right to life and physical integrity must translate in “means, actions and goals set by the State,” which must be understood as goals which gradually translate into concrete results. The favorable willingness of the State becomes meaningful to the extent that they gradually produce tangible results that may be, in turn, assessed as such and overseen by the Court. 19. Based on the foregoing, the factual circumstances leading to the restatement of provisional measures under Order of March 30, 2006, have helped the Court to precise the purpose and exceptional sense of provisional measures as an immediate response and tangible and concrete solutions to factual situations which necessarily have to be of extreme gravity, of an urgent nature, and to threaten to cause irreparable damage. This Order helps describe the factual circumstances in which the Court may order provisional measures and prescribe that these will become meaningful to the extent that they generate immediate and tangible effects in order to cope with the exceptional circumstances which meet all the requirements referred to in Article 63(2) of the Convention. Diego García-Sayán Judge Pablo Saavedra Alessandri Secretary
