53. The Complainant alleges that the condition under Article 56(7) of the Charter has also been met since the case was not subjected to any other international proceedings. 54. Among the conditions set out in Article 56, only the conditions relating to the exhaustion of local remedies (Article 56(5) and the need to submit the Communication within a reasonable time frame with effect from the date of exhaustion of local remedies (Article 56(6) have been challenged by the Respondent State. 55. Concerning the five conditions which the Respondent State has not specifically challenged, the African Commission concurs with the Complainant that they have been met. Having studied the Complainant’s submissions, the African Commission sees no reason to hold an opposing view, and is therefore of the opinion that the requirements under Articles 56(1), (2), (3), (4) and (7) of the Charter have been met. In light of this, only the contested Articles, that is 56(5) and 56(6) of the Charter, will be subjected to analysis. 56. In the present Communication, it should be noted that several letters were sent to the Complainant by the Secretariat requesting supplementary observations on the argument presented by the Respondent State on the non exhaustion of local remedies by the Victims. 57. Following the lack of reaction from the Complainant to the Respondent State’s arguments on the exhaustion of local remedies, the African Commission has no other choice but to proceed with the examination of the admissibility of the Communication solely on the basis of the information it has been provided. 12
