Commission, although it stated it would deliver the pertinent information “as soon as
possible.”

reiterated its concern regarding the situation of risk of the persons protected by the
present measures and requested that the Court call upon the State to provide
relevant information that it had omitted.
3.
That the provisional measures were ordered by the Court in response to
unexpected events that were presented to the Tribunal by the representatives of the
victims, the Inter-American Commission and the State itself.
NOW THEREFORE:
THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS,
in exercise of the powers conferred on it by Article 63(2) of the American Convention
on Human Rights and Article 25 of the Rules of Procedure, in conjunction with Article
29 of the Rules of Procedure,
DECIDES:
1.
To request that the State of Colombia present, in its next report, to the Court,
information on the current situation of Mr. Guillermo Guerrero Zambrano, as well as
its point of view regarding the alleged “dismantling” plan that, according to the
Commission, the measures of protection for Ms. María Nodelia Parra are subject.
2.
To request the State of Colombia to conduct the necessary actions to locate
Ms. Elida González , to verify her current situation and to include the results in its
next report to the Court.
Done in Spanish and English, the Spanish text being authentic, at the Seat of the
Court in San Jose, Costa Rica, on this 19th of September, 1997.
