19. Given the particular circumstances of the case, where there is risk of execution of
the death penalty which will jeopardise the enjoyment of the rights guaranteed
under Article 7 of the Charter and Article 14 of the ICCPR, the Court has decided
to invoke its powers under Article 27(2) of the Protocol :
20. The Court finds that the Situation ra1sed
In the present application Is of extreme gravity
and represents a risk of irreparable harm to the nghts of the Applicant as protected by
Article 7 of the Charter and Article 14 of the ICCPR, if the death sentence were to be
carried out
21 Consequently , the Court concludes that the circumstances require an Order for
provisional measures, in accordance with Article 27(2) of the Protocol and Rule 51 of its
Rules, to preserve the status quo ante, pending the determination of the main application
22 For the avoidance of doubt, this Order shall not in any way prejudice any final findings
the Court shall make regarding its junsdlction, the admissibility and the merits of the
application
For these reasons ,
23. The Court, unanimously, orders the Respondent:
a) To refrain from executing the death penalty against the Applicant pending
the determination of the application.
b) To report to the Court within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of this
Order, on the measures taken to implement the Order.
