5 14. That the obligation to report to the Court is not fulfilled merely by making a formal presentation of a document to the Court, but is a dual obligation, which, for effective compliance, requires the formal presentation of a document within the established time limit with specific, updated, true and detailed information on the issues to which this obligation relates 15. That the State must comply with the measures called for by the Court in its Orders and report periodically on the measures it has adopted to protect the lives, safety and freedom of expression of the persons protected by provisional measures in this case; on the investigation of the facts that gave rise to those measures, and on the steps taken to allow the petitioners to take part in their planning and implementation. The State’s obligation to report to the Court on the measures it is taking to comply with the Court’s Orders is fundamental for assessing the case. 16. That, according to Article 65 of the American Convention: [t]o each regular session of the General Assembly of the Organization of American States, the Court shall submit, for the Assembly’s consideration, a report on its work during the previous year. It shall specify, in particular, the cases in which a State has not complied with its judgments, making any pertinent recommendations. 17. That Article 30 of the Court’s Statute establishes that: [t]he Court shall submit a report on its work of the previous year to each regular session of the OAS General Assembly. It shall indicate those cases in which a State has failed to comply with the Court’s ruling. It may also submit to the OAS General Assembly proposals or recommendations on ways to improve the inter-American system of human rights, insofar as they concern the work of the Court. 18. That, since the State has not implemented the measures ordered by the Court effectively, has not investigated the facts that gave rise to those measures, has not complied by allowing the beneficiaries to take part in the planning and coordination of the measures, and has not complied fully with its reporting obligation, should this situation persist, the Court, in application of Article 65 of the Convention (supra sixteenth considering paragraph) and Article 30 of its Statute (supra seventeenth considering paragraph), will include this Order in its 2003 Annual Report, so that it may be submitted to the consideration of the General Assembly of the Organization of American States. THEREFORE: THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, in exercise of the authority conferred by Article 63(2), 65 and 68 of the American Convention on Human Rights, Article 30 of its Statute, and Articles 25 and 29(2) of the Court’s Rules of Procedure, DECIDES: Violation of the Convention (Arts. 1 and 2 of the American Convention on Human Rights). Advisory Opinion OC-14/94 of December 9, 1994. Series A No. 14, para. 35.
