3. That the Court has indicated that the provisional measures are two types: one precautionary and the other protective.2 The precautionary type of measure is linked within the framework of the international adversarial. In this sense, these measures have as object and aim to preserve the rights in possible risk until the controversy is resolved. Its object and aim is that of assuring the integrity and the effectiveness of the merits decision, and, in this way, to avoid the rights in litigation to be infringed, a situation that could make the merits innocuous or to invalidate its effective application. The provisional measures let the State in point to fulfill the final decision, and, in case, to proceed to the ordered reparations.3 In regards to the protective type of the provisional measures, this Court has pointed out that these are turned into a truly judicial guarantee of a preventive type because they protect human rights, under the heading that they look to avoid irreparable damages to the people.4 4. That Article 63(2) of the Convention demands that it is mandatory for the Court to rule provisional measures that three conditions must occur: i) “extreme seriousness”; ii) “urgency”, y iii) that it tries to avoid irreparable damages to the people.” These three conditions are coexistent and must be present in every situation in which intervention of the Court is asked. In the same way, the three described conditions must persist so that the Court maintains the ordered protection. If one of them has ceased in effectiveness, the Court shall consider the pertinence of continuing with the ordered protection. 5. That if a State asks to rescind or to modify the ruled provisional measures, it shall present enough evidence and argumentation that allows the Court to comprehend that the risk or threat does not fulfill the requirements of extreme seriousness and urgency to avoid irreparable damages anymore. Moreover, the guardians of the beneficiaries who want the measures to continue shall present evidence of the reasons for it. 6. That in regards to it, the Court must take into account that, in conformity to the Preamble of the American Convention, the international protection of nature is “coadjutor or complementary to the one that offers the intern right of the American States.” For that reason, in case that it is proved that the State in point has developed effective mechanisms or actions of protection for the beneficiaries of the provisional measures, the Court might decide to rescind from the provisional measures, providing with the obligation of protection to the due responsible, this is, the State. It is repeated that this is a decision by the Court and not by the State, for it would be inadmissible to subordinate the mechanism planned in the American Convention to restrictions that would make the function of the Court inoperative, and; therefore, the protective system of human rights established in the 2 Cf.
