10 being irregular in nature given the Municipality’s unavailability of sufficient economic and human resources. 18. That the Court does not have current, specific information on the form and regularity of, and other circumstances pertaining to, the protection that is being afforded to Colomina by the Municipality of Chacao, or the existence of any other measure that may have been implemented to protect the life and integrity of this beneficiary. 19. That the State has failed to provide the information that was requested by the Secretariat, further to the instructions of the President of the Court (supra Having Seen clause No. 20), clarifying whether the images of the beneficiaries featured on the video recording that the representatives provided to the Tribunal (supra Having Seen clause No. 14) were broadcasted by a state TV channel and whether they are currently receiving air time. 20. That, in spite of the fact that, according to the representatives, the State has failed to adopt measures aimed at protecting the life and physical integrity of Liliana Velásquez, the representatives requested that the provisional measures ordered for her protection be rescinded given that the situation of risk had already ceased to exist as far as she was concerned, as she was no longer working with Colomina. 21. That both the Commission and the State endorsed such request that the measures be rescinded. 22. That the Court does not have information on whether the State has adopted any measure aimed at protecting the freedom of expression of Colomina. THEREFORE: THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, by virtue of the authority vested upon it by Article 63(2) of the American Convention on Human Rights and Article 25 of the Rules of Procedure, DECIDES: 1. To declare that the State has failed to comply with its duty to provide specific and detailed information to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights regarding the implementation of the measures ordered by the Court. 2. To rescind these provisional measures insofar as they relate to Liliana Velásquez. 3. To call upon the State, once again, to immediately adopt such measures as may be required in order to protect the life, physical integrity and freedom of expression of Marta Colomina.
