Regulations,” and “therefore no delay can be claimed.” In any case, the State noted that, on January 25, 2011, the representative “was informed of the content of the said decision,” in “the meeting she held with the lawyer from the Supranational Attorney’s Office, who handed her the decision.” Finally, the State indicated that “it is not judicial practice to notify the litigants of the official notes sent by the Judiciary to the different entities, […] but rather the responsibility of the defense counsel or interested party, should they consider it pertinent, to verify that these have been sent, without this involving the impairment of any right.” 10. Finally, the representative “commended the measures taken by the Peruvian State to implement the decision of the Supreme Court of Justice of […] Peru to send the corresponding communications to police authorities informing them of the decision to annul the international detention and arrest orders” against Mrs. De La Cruz Flores. Hence, the representative “withdrew the request for provisional measures.” b) Considerations of the Court 11. After analyzing the information presented by the parties, and taking into account the withdrawal of the request for the adoption of provisional measures by the victim’s representative, the Court considers that, at the time of issuing this order, the said request is purposeless. In this regard, the Court orders the closure of the file on this request for adoption of provisional measures for Mrs. De La Cruz Flores. 12. Despite this, the Court reminds the State that it must continue to adopt the necessary measures to comply with the obligation imposed in the first operative paragraph of the judgment on merits, reparations, and costs in this case of November 18, 2004, which consists in “observing the principle of legality and nonretroactivity established in Article 9 of the American Convention and the requirements of due process in the new trial of María Teresa De La Cruz Flores” (supra having seen paragraph 1). The Court will continue analyzing the status of implementation of this measure, in the context of monitoring compliance with the judgment THEREFORE: THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS, in exercise of the authority conferred on it by Article 63(2) of the American Convention on Human Rights and Articles 27 and 31 of its Rules of Procedure, DECIDES: 1. To close the file on this request for the adoption of provisional measures in favor of María Teresa De La Cruz Flores, as it is purposeless, in view of its withdrawal by the representative of the victim. 2. To require the Secretariat of the Court to notify this Order to the State of Peru, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and the representative of the victim. 4
