7 10. That, as considered by the President in his previous Order (supra Having seen paragraph 9), in this case it is not possible to determine fumus boni iuris without making a ruling on the merits of the matter in question, which would imply an assessment of whether the facts alleged by the representatives are in conformity with the American Convention. A decision on merits is made in a judgement delivered in the course of the proceedings on a contentious case lodged before the Court, and not while processing provisional measures. The adoption of the requested measures could imply an incidental prior judgment, with the subsequent establishment of some of the facts and their respective consequences, and these are the object of the principal dispute in the case lodged before the Court.9 Therefore, it is not appropriate to order the adoption of the requested measures (supra Having seen paragraphs 7 and 8) in the terms of Article 63(2) of the Convention. 11. That this Order should not prejudge the allegations of the Inter-American Commission in its application, or the contents of the aforementioned request. THEREFORE: THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, in exercise of the authority conferred by Article 63(2) of the American Convention on Human Rights, and Articles 25 and 29 of its Rules of Procedure, DECIDES: 1. To ratify in toto the Order of the President of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights of June 14, 2007. 2. To reject, for the reasons set out in the ninth and tenth considering paragraphs, the requests for provisional measures submitted on May 26, and June 4 and June 19, 2007 (supra Having seen paragraphs 7, 8 and 10). 3. To request the State to maintain the provisional measures decided in the Orders issued by the Court on November 27, 2002, November 21, 2003, September 8, 2004, and September 12, 2005 (supra Having seen paragraphs 1 and 2). 4. To notify this Order to the State, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and the representatives of the alleged victims. Sergio García Ramírez President 9 Cf. Matter of Castañeda Gutman.
