23 78. Likewise, the Tribunal reiterates that Article 1(1) of the American Convention sets forth the general obligations of States Parties to respect the rights and liberties enshrined in the Convention and to guarantee the free and full exercise of these rights for all individuals subject to their jurisdiction. Consequently, and independent of the existence of specific provisional measures, the State is particularly obliged to guarantee the rights of individuals in a situation of risk and must move forward with the investigations necessary to clear up the facts, followed by the consequences established in the pertinent legislation.30 79. Taking this into account, in the context of these provisional measures and as it has done in other matters,31 the Court will not address the alleged absence of results nor the way in which State is investigating. In that sense, the Tribunal reiterates that it will not repeat its request to the parties for information on this point. However, this does not exempt the State from its obligation to investigate the facts denounced on which these provisional measures are based, under the terms of Article 1(1) of the American Convention. THEREFORE: THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, by way of the authority conferred by Article 63(2) of the American Convention on Human Rights and articles 27 and 31 of the Rules of Procedure of the Court, DECIDES TO: 1. Rule that the provisional measures adopted to the benefit of Sebastián Naranjo Jiménez have ceased to have a purpose due to his death, in accordance with what was set forth in Considering 47 through 49 of this Order. 2. Require the State to continue adopting the necessary measures to protect the rights to life and personal integrity of Mery Naranjo Jiménez and her relatives, to wit, Juan David Naranjo Jiménez, Alejandro Naranjo Jiménez, Sandra Janeth Naranjo Jiménez, Alba Mery Naranjo Jiménez, Erika Johann Gómez, Heidi Tatiana Naranjo Gómez, María Camila Naranjo Jiménez, Aura María Amaya Naranjo, Esteban Torres Naranjo and Luisa María Escudero Jiménez. 3. Require the State to guarantee that the measures of protection are not provided by the security officials who, according to the beneficiaries, were involved in the reported facts, in a manner such that the designation of the same must be made with the participation of the beneficiaries or their representative. 4. Require the State to continue adopting the necessary measures of permanent protection to ensure the safety of the place of residence of Ms. Mery Naranjo Jiménez and her family. 30 Cf.
