4 3. Likewise, the provisions established in Article 63(2) of the Convention make the provisional measures ordered by this Tribunal obligatory for States, as the basic legal principles of international State responsibility, based on international case law, have indicated that States must comply with their obligations under the Convention in good faith (pacta sunt servanda). The failure to comply with an order to adopt provisional measures handed down by the Tribunal during the proceeding before the Commission and before the Court can result in international responsibility for the State.3 4. Based on its jurisdiction, in the context of provisional measures the Court can only consider those arguments that are directly related to extreme gravity, urgency and the need to avoid irreparable damages to persons. Thus in order to decide whether the provisional measures should remain in force, the Tribunal must analyze wither the situation of extreme gravity and urgency that led to their adoption still persists, or if, rather, new circumstances that are equally grave and urgent merit that the measures be maintained. This should not constitute a prejudgment of the case or of the merits of the problem. Any other matter can only be brought before the Court as an adversarial case.4 5. In keeping with the orders of the Inter-American Court dated November 23, 2004, June 295 and September 22, 2005, and February 4, 2010, (supra Having Seen 1) the State must, inter alia, adopt provisional measures with the purpose of: a) protecting the lives and personal integrity of the beneficiaries;6 b) provide the permanent security measures necessary to secure the homes of Maritza Barrios, Juan Barrios and Orismar Carolina Alzul García, and c) ensure and effectively implement the conditions necessary for the members of the Barrios family who have been forced to move to other regions of the country to return to their homes. 6.
