In view of the above, the Complainants request that the Commission issue a declaratory order that the Respondent State is in violation of Articles 1, 4, 5, 14, and 17 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, request that the Respondent State or its agents refrain from expelling or harassing the Complainants, their families and all other members of the Maasai Community residing on the land subject to the present case, pending the determination of the Communication, and demand that the Respondent State or its agents stop the implementation of the special economic zone plan or any related project initiated without the consultation and participation of the Complainants, of their families and the Community they represent. 58. The Complainants merely request that, in the light of the allegations and evidence submitted to the Commission, the Commission determine that the Respondent State has indeed violated the rights of the Maasai community of Kitet (Kedong), and, furthermore, request the Respondent State to put an end to these violations. The Commission sees no challenge in declaring the complaint compatible with the Constitutive Act, since none of the prayers are contrary to its objectives. Derogatory or insulting language (Article 56(3)) 59. Article 56 (3) requires that Communications "shall not be drafted in derogatory or insulting language directed against the State concerned and its institutions or against the Organization of African Unity." 60. The issue around derogatory and insulting language in complaints lodged by individuals against States Parties has been well discussed and addressed within the framework of the African Human Rights System. In the Commission's view, two main factors must be taken into consideration. On the one hand, the Commission's analysis must take into account the freedom of expression of the individual when he or she expresses his or her claims, as provided for in Article 9(2) of the African Charters, while on the other hand, it must consider the threshold established by the body itself. 61. In this regard , the Commission has clearly identified derogatory and insulting language as that which offends the integrity of the judiciary, unlawfully and intentionally violates the dignity, reputation or integrity of an official or judicial body. In addition, the Commission considers the language derogatory in such a way that it pollutes the minds of the population or deliberately seeks to devalue the status of the institution.
