4 b) Between 2005 and 2007, the representatives reported that, because of the harassment and the failure to comply with the measures of protection, Mr. Uzcátegui was forced to constantly change his place of residence, “which made it impossible for him to resume his daily activities and secure a stable job;” c) “the patrolling rounds [at Mr. Uzcátegui’s residence in] the State of Anzoátegui took place very sporadically,” and during such visits, he was urged by National Guard officials to sign visit verification records covering protection shifts from Monday to Sunday, Mr. Uzcátegui having no evidence that such protection shifts had actually taken place;” d) In spite of Mr. Uzcátegui’s change of residence having been notified to the Human Rights Agency, this institution failed to inform the National Guard as agreed at the meeting of June 7, 2007, and e) On July 30, 2008, they stated that “at no time has the Dirección Estatal de Protección Civil y Administración de Desastres [State Disaster Management and Civil Protection Department] performed” the patrolling or round duties agreed in January 2008; this was ratified on September 9 and January 16, 2009. 8. That, in the observations submitted in 2006 and 2007, the Commission noted that the “protection accorded to the beneficiary does not seem to have met the necessary requirements to be considered fit to guarantee his integrity.” Accordingly, “the State appears not to have been taking effective measures to prevent new acts of intimidation, or to have adopted measures intended to eliminate the conditions that favor their recurrence.” 9. That the Court appreciates the parties’ attempt to agree on measures of protection befitting the needs of the beneficiary. However, several problems have been encountered over the last few years in implementing a personal security and patrolling detail and in connection with the organizations in charge of providing the required protection and securing its effectiveness. Accordingly, the Court requires that the State provide clear information on the manner in which the State Disaster Management and Civil Protection Department has tried to inform Mr. Uzcátegui of the persons and mechanisms through which the agreed-upon patrolling will be implemented and the manner in which the protection is currently being provided. * * * 10. That, as regards the beneficiary’s involvement in the provisional measures, the State indicated that several meetings have taken place with a number of public officials, at which, among other things, it was agreed to “provide [him with] financial aid,” direct mechanisms to communicate with the agency or person in charge of the protection and security detail, the manner in which his residence would be patrolled, the state agencies in charge of his protection, as well as the manner in and places at which such protection would be provided.
