gravity and urgency, and when necessary to avoid irreparable harm to persons...” and “...which it deems necessary to adopt in the interest of the parties or of justice”. 15. It is for the Court to decide whether to issue provisional measures depending on the circumstances of each case. 16. The Applicant is on death row and it appears from this Application that there exists a situation of extreme gravity and urgency, as well as a risk of irreparable harm to the Applicant. 17. Given the circumstances of this case, where the risk of execution of the death penalty will jeopardise the enjoyment of the rights guaranteed under Articles 4, 5 and 7 of the Charter, Articles 6(1), 7, 14(1) and 14(5) of the Covenant and Articles 3 and 5 of the Universal Declaration, the Court has decided to exercise its powers under Article 27(2) of the Protocol. 18. The Court consequently, finds that the situation raised in the present Application is of extreme gravity and represents a risk of irreparable harm and that the circumstances require that an order for provisional measures be issued, in accordance with Article 27(2) of the Protocol and Rule 51 of the Rules, to preserve the sfafus quo, pending the determination of the main Application.
