[c]eremony continues to be the most suitable means to accomplish the objective sought with this measure and to send an effective message of support, it is important that the State maintain a dialogue on this point, so that, as the representatives propose, the [c]eremony can be programmed for this year.” 43. The Court recalls that the measure regarding the reopening of the Civic Committee of Meta was ordered in 1999 29, because the facts that gave rise to these provisional measures caused the temporary closure of that entity and, therefore, the beneficiary Islena Rey, in her role as President of that organization, could not carry out the activities inherent to her position as a human rights defender. In this regard, the Court emphasizes that the parties undertook a process of consensus and dialogue for three years in order to hold a public reopening ceremony, that the State reasonably fulfilled its commitments, and that its suspension was due to a unilateral decision by the representatives the day prior to the date on which it was planned to take place. Bearing in mind the present circumstances, as well as fact that the Committee has been operating for several years and that the protection measures agreed upon by the parties have been instrumental in allowing Islena Rey to carry out her work in defense of human rights in the department of Meta, the Court considers that the purpose of these measures, which is to protect the life and personal integrity of Islena Rey Rodríguez, can be assured without the need to require the State to hold a reopening ceremony for the Civic Committee. 44. Consequently, the Court urges the parties to continue making the necessary efforts to ensure that the Civic Committee of Meta can carry out its work in defense of human rights and welcomes the fact that other means are being considered to express support to it; however, in the context of these provisional measures, it will not continue monitoring compliance with this specific measure. D. Regarding the investigations into the facts related to these measures 45. In the Order issued on February 22, 2011 regarding this matter, the Court required the State to provide information on “the undertaking […]made […]to officially ask the Justice and Peace Unit, responsible for investigating incidents relating to the zone of Meta, to specifically question those who appear before it about the facts related to this matter.” 30 In this regard, the Court notes that the representatives submitted a document issued by the Attorney General’s Office advising that: […] in the Meta region the Bloque Centauros, Frentes Héroes del Llano and Guaviare, and Autodefensas Campesinas of Meta and Vichada, committed crimes which are documented by the 5, 16, 24, 30 and 59 Prosecutors’ Offices of the National Unit for Justice and Peace [… . I]n relation to your request to indicate which members have confessed to criminal acts committed against the Civic Committee of Meta or its members, and through which actions, I wish to advise that the aforementioned information is obtained by way of unsworn statements (versiones libres) which, being part of the investigative tasks undertaken under the responsibility of the Attorney General’s Office, are of a confidential nature, for which reason I would be grateful if you would forward a copy of the power granted by said Committee or its members in order to process your request accordingly. 46.
