~;-·r,6~ttE~ , ,null Human Rights our Collective Responsibility Human and Peoples' Rights Article 56(1): Identity of the Complainant 36. Article 56(1) of the charter requires that a Communication indicate its author's identity, even if anonymity is requested. 37. The Commission recalls that the rationale behind this requirement is to ensure that the Commission can establish contact with the complainant and verify their ongoing interest in the matter. The Commission has affirmed this position in Michael Majuru v. Zimbabwe 27and lbrahima Diuresis and Others v. Guinea, 28 where it held that complainants must disclose their identities to enable the Commission to process communications adequately. 38. In the Communication at hand, while no victim is indicated expressly of the alleged violation of human rights arising from the Respondent State's acts, the Commission notes that the Complainant, Tebeila Institute, as represented by Mr Shedrak Tebaile,29 has clearly identified itself as a non-profit organization based in South Africa, dedicated to public interest litigation and the promotion of constitutional rights.30The Respondent State does not dispute the Complainant's identity and acknowledges that the requirement under Article 56(1 ) has been met. 31 39. The Commission agrees with the parties' submission and, therefore, finds that the requirement under Article 56(1 ) has been satisfied . Article 56(2): Compatibility with the Charter 40. Article 56(2) of the Charter requires that communications be compatible with the Charter of the African Union or the African Charter itself. The Commission interprets this condition as encompassing compatibility with the objectives of the African Charter and the Constitutive Act of the African Union and compliance with the four aspects of the Commission's jurisdiction, namely ratione personae, ratione materiae, ratione temporis and ratione loci.32 27 Communication 308/05, para. 66 28 Communication 340/ 07, para. 55 29 See the Complainant's w ritten submissions on admissibility and merits, para. 19 30 ibid ...... .. 31 See Respondent's State Reply Submission on Admissibility and Merit, para. 25 This position was clarified in Senator Jenn-Pierre Be111ba Gamba v.
