MC 972-18 - Semma Julissa Villanueva Barahona et al, Honduras
On June 12, 2023, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) decided to issue this resolution to follow up and partially lift precautionary measures pursuant to the terms of Article 25 of its Rules of Procedure.
The IACHR decided to keep in force the precautionary measures in favor of (1) Semma Julissa Villanueva Barahona; (2) Gregoria América Gomez Ramírez; and (3) Karla Vanessa Beltrán Cruz, as well as their respective families. At the time of taking the decision, the Commission considered the protection measures State authorities have taken in favor of beneficiaries. However, the Commission also considered the ongoing risk factors against them. Consequently, with a view to continue assessing whether to keep these precautionary measures in force, the Commission requested
- that the representation present updated and individualized information on situation that places the beneficiaries at risk;
- that the State carry out an updated risk assessment and adopt appropriate and effective protection measures in a timely manner;
- that the State present updated and detailed information regarding the investigations into the reported facts; and
- that both parties collaborate in the concertation actions that are required for the implementation of the precautionary measures.
On the other hand, the IACHR decided to lift the precautionary measures in favor of Dicciana Noreyda Ferrufino and her family unit in Honduras. At the time of making its decision, the Commission took into account the lack of reported risk events against the beneficiary Dicciana Noreyda Ferrufino in recent years, in addition to the willingness and actions taken by the State during the time these precautionary measures were in force. Upon not identifying compliance with the procedural requirements set forth in Article 25 of the Rules of Procedure, the IACHR decided to partially lift these precautionary measures.
