6 possible danger they face, it is not reasonable to maintain the protective measures. In this matter, the scant information provided has created a situation of uncertainty at certain times, which is incompatible with the preventive and protective nature of provisional measures and, consequently, makes supervision of their implementation difficult.9 14. Consequently, based on the information provided by the representatives and the State’s observation that the conditions of extreme gravity and the urgency of avoiding irreparable harm to the life and physical integrity of the beneficiaries do not exist, the Court finds that it is in order to lift the provisional measures adopted in this matter. 15. Notwithstanding the above, the Court recalls that Article 1(1) of the Convention establishes the general obligations of the States Parties to respect the rights and freedoms enshrined therein and to ensure their free and full exercise to all those subject to their jurisdiction at all times. For their part, provisional measures are of an extraordinary nature and are complementary to this general State obligation. In this regard, the justification for the Court to lift the provisional measures cannot entail the State being relieved of its treatybased protection obligations. Hence, the Court emphasizes that, irrespective of the existence of specific provisional measures, the State is obliged to guarantee the rights of Mrs. Pérez Torres and her immediate family in the event of their eventual return to Mexico. THEREFORE: THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, by virtue of the authority granted to it by Article 63(2) of the American Convention on Human Rights and Article 27 of the Court’s Rules of Procedure, DECIDES: 1. To lift and conclude the provisional measures ordered by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in favor of Rosa Isela Pérez Torres and her immediate family members. 2. To order the Secretariat to notify the present Order to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the representatives of the beneficiaries, and the State of Mexico. 3. To close this file. 9 Cf.
