In such instances, the Commission has consistently held that when a substantive response from the Respondent State is absent, it must make a determination based on the facts presented by the Complainant. This approach aligns with the Commission's established practice, as exemplified in cases such as the Institute for Human Rights and Development in Africa v. Republic of Angola, the Social and Economic Rights Action Center for Economic and Social Rights v. Federal Republic of Nigeria, and numerous other communications. In these cases, the Commission reaffirmed its position by stating that 11 • • • it would proceed to consider Communications based on the submission of the Complainants and information at its disposal, even if the Respondent State fails to submit. 11 Consequently, the Commission shall conduct the following analysis on admissibility, relying on the available arguments and facts presented in the Complainant's submission on admissibility. Analysis of the Commission on Admissibility 41. The Commission reiterates that Article 56 of the African Charter governs the admissibility of Communications and outlines seven (7) requirements that collectively determine the admissibility of Communications submitted to the Commission. A Communication must fulfill all seven (7) requirements to be considered admissible. 42. Regarding the requirement stated in Article 56(1) of the African Charter, which stipulates that " Communications should indicate their authors even if the latter requests anonymity," the Commission acknowledges that the Communication in question identifies the author and address of the Complainant. Therefore, the Commission concludes that the Communication satisfies the provisions of Article 56(1) of the African Charter. 43. Pursuant to Article 56(2) of the African Charter, a Communication must align with either the Charter of the Organization of African Unity or the African Charter. Regarding the compatibility of the Communication with the Constitutive Act of the African Union, the Commission acknowledges that the Complainant has claimed violations of human rights guaranteed by the African Charter, which explicitly includes the protection of these rights as one of its objectives under Article 3 (h) of the Act. Furthermore, the Commission concludes that no aspect of the Communication can contradictory to the objectives or principles of the Act.
