38 documents contributed by the parties with respect to the preliminary objections are also part of the evidence in the instant case (supra para. 68). 92. The order in question is a juridical consequence of the conviction that the alleged victims challenge and is part of a proceeding before the inter-American system for the protection of human rights and cannot be analyzed in isolation. 93. As for the “material non-existence” of the order in question, the latter was delivered by one of the State’s own courts; the State cannot be ignorant of it. 94. Given the foregoing, the Court dismisses the preliminary objection claiming the “belated introduction” and “material non-existence” of the April 3, 2001 order as being unfounded and inadmissible.
