4 Community and that maintained by the families of affected persons, in relation to whether or not they belong to said Community. 8. In this regard, as stated in the Order of February 6, 2008 (supra Having Seen 1), the representative reported that the Peace Community is composed of a group of “136 families (approximately 816 persons),” who “adopt all of the principles of the Peace Community” and participate in decision-making and communal work. The representative indicated that these families are settled in the following veredas (small rural settlements), located in the municipality of San José de Apartadó: San Josesito (46 families), La Antena (6 families), La Cristalina (5 families), Arenas Altas (16 families), La Unión (52 families), Mulatos (5 families that will return in February 2008), and La Esperanza (6 families). However, the representative also indicated “that another group has been added,” made up of families that live in “humanitarian zones” composed of approximately 144 families (approximately 864 persons) distributed over eight veredas: la Resbalosa (8 families), La Hoz (14 families), Rodoxalí (22 families), Sabaleta (39 families), Las Flores (21 families), El Venado (16 families) and Arenas Bajas (5 families), all located in the municipality of San José de Apartadó. In accordance with that stated by the representative, this group “has identified with the principles of the Peace Community although without assuming all of the commitments of participating in communal work and decision-making.” The representative also indicated that the Peace Community “did not consider it prudent, but rather exceedingly risky, to submit the names of persons who are integrated with the Peace Community and the names of ‘humanitarian zones’ that have been joining.” 9. As was pointed out in the previously mentioned Order of February 6, 2008, the Court takes note that at the moment of ordering the present provisional measures, it valued that the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó was composed of approximately 1,200 persons, constituting thus “an organized community, located in a determined geographic location, whose members can be identified and individualized,” as was recognized by the Inter-American Commission almost ten years ago.6 In said Order, the Tribunal noted that “the collective definition of the beneficiaries of these provisional measures depends on their belonging to the Peace Community, their geographic location in the municipality of San José de Apartadó, and the situation of grave danger that confronts the members as a result of their belonging to said community.” However, it remains unclear to the Court the status of the approximately 144 families distributed throughout eight veredas which were noted by the representative, who according to the report “have identified with the principles of the Peace Community, although without assuming all of the commitments of participation in communal work and decision-making.” Due to the ambiguity regarding this matter, the Court requests that the representative and the InterAmerican Commission clarify this situation, “taking into account that which had been assessed by the Tribunal at the time of adopting these provisional measures.” However, almost two years later, the Tribunal has not received information that explains the situation of the 144 families in question. 10. In situations such as the present,7 the Court has ordered the protection of a plurality of persons that have not been previously named, but who are identifiable and 6 Cf.
