22 order to overcome the obstacles preventing the efficient implementation of protective measures in accordance with the current risk faced by the beneficiaries. 72. Given all the foregoing considerations, the Court deems it necessary for the State to immediately and effectively take all necessary and special measures to ensure the full exercise of the rights to life and humane treatment of Ms. Mery Naranjo Jiménez and her relatives, and of Ms. María del Socorro Mosquera Londoño, such that the measures be effective at preventing and ceasing the threats and harassment, as well as so the beneficiaries can live their lives in the way in which they are accustomed and without fear. 73. In addition, the Court takes note of the information provided by the representatives with regard to the relatives of Ms. Mosquera Londoño (supra Considering 65h). It also observes that the State has not taken the opportunity to present its observations in this regard However, it notes that the alleged victims of these attacks are not beneficiaries of these provisional measures. In this sense, the Court reiterates that it cannot rule on facts or situations that do not exclusively pertain to the beneficiaries of the measures.29 4. On the investigations into facts related to these provisional measures 74. The State reported on steps taken and progress made in the various criminal and disciplinary investigations launched as a consequence of the facts originating these provisional measures, as well as in relation to the threats or alleged failure to carry out their duties by officials in charge of the security and protective measures implemented to the benefit of the beneficiaries. 75. Regarding the investigations, the representatives found that "positive progress in the criminal and disciplinary investigations is important not only because it stops the violations but also because it alleviates the risk faced by the victims." In addition, they reiterated that "progress in the proceedings […], the search for the truth, and the punishment of those responsible is fundamental in this case, and […] compliance with the protective measures is not enough." For this reason, they demanded results from the State with regard to justice. 76. For its part, the Commission took note of the information submitted by the representatives and the State on this topic on various occasions, but commented with concern that "significant progress in the investigation into the facts leading to these measures has not been present." Finally, it found it necessary for Colombia to present "current and detailed information on this," as it was fundamental for the State to adopt all necessary measures to "progress in its compliance with measures of justice in this case.” 77. With regard to the pleadings related to the judicial investigations carried out by the State into the alleged facts that led to these measures, as with any other action to investigate acts of harassment, threats, or the situations separate the life or personal integrity of the beneficiaries at risk, particularly with regard to the alleged absence of results and the type of investigations the State is carrying out, the Court finds it pertinent to clarify that before, during the processing of these provisional measures, the Court had been maintaining the standard of requesting the State to investigate the facts that gave rise to the provisional measures and to report to the Tribunal on the investigation. However, taking into account the characteristics of these provisional measures and and the fact that they have been in the process of implementation for four years, the Court finds that the issue of the investigations implies an analysis of the merits that is beyond the scope of the provisional measures. 29 Cf.
