7. The brief of July 30, 2013, in which the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (hereinafter “the Commission” or “the Inter-American Commission”) forwarded the information requested by the Court (supra having seen paragraph 5) and advised that, on July 18, 2013, it had adopted Merits Report No. 78/13 with regard to case No. 12,794, relating to these provisional measures. 8. The brief of August 7, 2013, in which the State submitted its observations on the information presented by the Inter-American Commission. CONSIDERING THAT: 1. Peru ratified the American Convention on Human Rights (hereinafter “the American Convention” or “the Convention”) on July 28, 1978, and, in accordance with its Article 62, accepted the binding jurisdiction of the Court on January 21, 1981. 2. Article 63(2) of the American Convention stipulates that in “cases of extreme gravity and urgency, and when necessary to avoid irreparable damage to persons,” the Court may, in matters not yet submitted to its consideration, order the provisional measures that it deems pertinent at the request of the Commission.” This provision is, in turn, regulated in Article 27 of the Court’s Rules of Procedure. 3. Article 63(2) of the Convention requires that, for the Court to be able to order provisional measures, three conditions must concur: (i) “extreme gravity”; (ii) “urgency” and (iii) that the purpose is to “avoid irreparable damage to persons.” These three conditions must coexist and be present in any situation in which the Court is asked to intervene. In the same way, these three conditions must persist for the Court to maintain the protection ordered. If one of them has ceased to be valid, the Court must assess the pertinence of continuing the protection ordered. 1 4. The Court recalls that these provisional measures were first granted on May 28, 2010, at the request of the Inter-American Commission in the context of petition P-366-09, 2 in view of the prima facie risk inherent in extraditing an individual who had alleged possible flaws in due process, when the said extradition could lead to the application of the death 1 Cf.
