determine that such measures are necessary to avoid irreparable damage to their right
to life and to personal integrity.
13.
That the Court appreciates the information provided by the State in the sense
that certain protection measures set forth in the domestic legislation could benefit both
petitioners (supra Having Seen paragraph No. 8(a)). The Court considers the State
should address in its next report the domestic protection mechanisms that would apply
to both beneficiaries. Particularly, the Court is keen on knowing the specific domestic
protection measures that could be adopted regarding both beneficiaries; such
measures would guarantee a protection level similar to that enjoyed by the
beneficiaries of provisional measures contemplated herein.
14.
That the State has the duty to continue investigating the events that gave rise
to and justified maintaining these provisional measures and, as applicable, identifying
those responsible for the events and impose the corresponding penalties, and
investigate any acts of harassment and other events allegedly occurred under these
provisional measures.
15.
That pursuant to Article 63(2) of the Convention, the State has a duty to adopt
such provisional measures as this Court may order, insofar as the basic principle of the
International Responsibility of States, supported by international case law, provides
that States must fulfill their treaty obligations in good faith (pacta sunt servanda).
NOW THEREFORE,
THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS,
by virtue of the authority conferred upon it by Article 63(2) of the American
Convention on Human Rights and exercising the powers conferred upon it by Article 25
of its Rules of Procedure,
DECIDES:
To call upon the State to maintain and adopt any measures necessary to
protect the life and personal integrity of María Nodelia Parra and Gonzalo Arias-Alturo.
1.
2.
To remind the State its request to investigate the events that gave rise to and
justified maintaining the provisional measures and, as applicable, to identify those
responsible for the events and to impose the corresponding penalties.
