Brazil is a State Party to the Convention since September 25, 1992, and that according to Article 62 of the Convention, recognized the competence of the Court on December 10, 1998. 2. Article 63(2) of the American Convention sets that, “[i]n cases of extreme gravity and urgency, and when necessary to avoid irreparable damage to the persons,” the Court may, in the matters that have not yet been filed before it, per the request of the Commission, order the provisional measures deemed relevent. This provision is in turn regulated by Article 27 of the Rules of Procedure of the Court. 3. This request for provisional measures does not originate in a case before the Court, but in the context of the precautionary measures that have been underway before the Inter-American Commission since August 4, 2011. 7
