6 was recorded before him. The Commission did not present any observations in this regard. 26. On May 13, 205, the Irish Centre for Human Rights of the National University of Ireland (Galway) presented an amicus curiae in the present case. 27. On May 17, 2005, the Secretariat reiterated to the State the appeal that it present the evidence requested to facilitate adjudication of the case (supra para.23). Since said evidence had not been presented and the representatives had already submitted part of it, the State was requested to, following the President’s instructions, forward the missing evidence as soon as possible. 28. On May 24, 2005 the representatives presented their observations to the statements offered before a notary public (affidavits) by the Inter-American Commission. 29.

V PROVISIONAL MEASURES 32. On December 3, 2004 the representatives, upon presentation of their brief of pleadings and motions, requested, inter alia, that “in order to save Mr. Fermín Ramírez’s life” the Court “issue provisional measures in [his] favour […]. Based on that stated in Article 63(2) of the American Convention […]”, in virtue of the fact that, despite the validity of the precautionary measures issued by the Commission of February 9, 2004, “the jurisprudence established by the Constitutional Court of Guatemala [in judgment of December 19, 2001] represents a great concern, in the sense that the cautionary measures dictated by the Inter-American Commission […] do not have binding effects for the Guatemalan courts.” 33. On December 8, 2004 the Secretariat, following the President’s instructions, requested that the representatives, in consideration of the validity of the precautionary measures imposed by the Inter-American Commission since February 9, 2004 and that the mentioned judgment of the Constitutional Court of Guatemala was issued in the year 2001, inform in detail of the existence of the conditions of extreme seriousness and urgency and irreparability of the damages established in Article 63(2) of the American Convention that justified the adoption, by the Tribunal, of provisional measures in the situation of the present case at that time.
