5 their rights to life and humane treatment. Therefore, the Court considers it reasonable to presume that the situation of said beneficiaries no longer falls within the provisions of Article 63(2) of the Convention. 14. That, as regards the implementation of the measures in favor of Ángel del Rosario Vásquez-Chumo and his family, the only information available is that provided by the State, which reported that police protection service was provided regularly in their homes; that there were no relevant incidents affecting their safety to be reported; and that Mr. VásquezChumo had refused protection while performing his job as a taxi driver (supra Having Seen clause No. 3). 15. That the State considered that the provisional measures ordered in favor of Mr. Vásquez-Chumo and the members of his family should be maintained “until final judgment is rendered” against César Augusto Santoyo-Castro, who was a co-accused with VásquezChumo in the criminal case concerning the wrongful death of the Gómez-Paquiyauri brothers and who Vásquez-Chumo identified as the mastermind of said crimes (supra Having Seen clause No. 7). 16. That the State did not provide any additional arguments or evidence in support of maintaining the measures ordered in favor of Mr. Vásquez-Chumo and his family until César Augusto Santoyo-Castro is convicted. 17. That it is essential for the State to provide said information so that the Court can determine whether to maintain or lift these measures. However, taking into consideration the request of the State (supra Having Seen clause No. 7 and Considering clause No. 15), the Court considers it appropriate to maintain the provisional measures ordered in favor of Vásquez-Chumo and his family for an additional period of at least six months. 18. That the last communication submitted by the representative of Vásquez-Chumo and the members of his family was received by the Secretariat of the Court on July 22, 2004. In this regard, the Court believes that it is essential that Vásquez-Chumo and his family submit their comments on the existence and continuation of the situation of extreme gravity and urgency and potential risk of irreparable damage that would warrant maintaining the provisional measures ordered by the Court in their favor. 19. That the Court will consider whether or not to maintain the provisional measures ordered in favor of Mr. Vásquez-Chumo and his family once it has received the required information (supra Considering clauses No. 17 and 18) and the comments of the parties on this issue. THEREFORE, THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, by virtue of the authority vested in it by Article 63(2) of the American Convention on Human Rights and Articles 25 and 29 of the Court’s Rules of Procedure,
