4 5. Article 1(1) of the Convention provides for the duty of States Party to respect the rights and freedoms recognized in this treaty and to guarantee their free and full exercise to all persons subject to its jurisdiction. 6. The Court is empowered to adopt provisional measures related to cases of extreme seriousness and urgency in order to prevent irreparable harm to people (Article 63(2) of the Convention). This implies, in the present case, with regards to the request contained under Having Seen clause 1, to look after the personal integrity of Ms. Loayza-Tamayo. 7. The information submitted in this case shows prima facie a threat to the integrity of Ms. Loayza-Tamayo. The standard of prima facie of a case and the application of the assumptions before the needs of protection, have led this Court to order provisional measures on several occasions (cf. inter alia, Ivcher Bronstein Case. Provisional Measures. Decision of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights of November 23, 2000, fifth considering clause; Case of the Community of Paz de San José de Apartadó. Provisional Measures.
