CONSIDERING THAT: 1. Peru ratified the American Convention on Human Rights (hereinafter, the “American Convention” or the “Convention”) on July 28, 1978, and it has accepted the binding jurisdiction of the Court on January 21, 1981, in keeping with Article 62 of the Convention. 2. Article 63(2) of the American Convention establishes that, “[i]n cases of extreme gravity and urgency, and when necessary to avoid irreparable damage to persons, the Court shall adopt such provisional measures as it deems pertinent in matters it has under consideration. With respect to a case not yet submitted to the Court, it may act at the request of the Commission.” 3. Article 27 of the Rules of Procedure of the Court1 provides that: 1. At any stage of the proceedings involving cases of extreme gravity and urgency, and when necessary to avoid irreparable damage to persons, the Court may, on its own motion, order such provisional measures as it deems pertinent, pursuant to Article 63(2) of the Convention. 2. With respect to a matter not yet submitted to the Court, it may act at the request of the Commission. […] 4. According to the International Human Rights Law, the provisional measures are not only precautionary in the sense that they preserve a legal situation, but they are also mainly protective since they protect human rights, insofar as they avoid irreparable damage to people. Provisional measures are adopted provided the basic requirements of extreme gravity and urgency and the prevention of irreparable damage to persons are met. In this sense, provisional measures become a real jurisdictional guarantee of a preventive nature.2 1 Rules of Procedure of the Court approved in its LXXXV Ordinary Period of Sessions, held from November 16 to 28, 2009. 2 Cf.
