Therefore, on the basis of this line of argument, the Commission notes that the conditions of Article 56(6) have been met. Matters previously resolved (Article 56 (7)) 97. The Commission's position on the above principle has been well elaborated and clarified in its case-law with regard to two main conditions. On the one hand, with respect to the nature of the organization, the Commission recognizes that Article 56(7) is not satisfied if the same complaint is submitted to a human rights body for consideration. On the other hand, as regards the nature of the decision, the Commission said in the case of Haregewoin Gabre-Selassie and IDHDA (on behalf of former Dergue officials) v. Ethiopia16 that the fact of "taking a decision that addresses the concerns, including the remedy sought by the complainant... [and that] it is not enough that the matter is simply discussed by these bodies". 98. This implies that when the complainant submits a complaint to the Commission, but it has already been lodged with another competent human rights body, this automatically renders the complaint inadmissible. In addition, when the Complainant files a Complaint that has already been the subject of a decision taken by a human rights body, the latter must have addressed the concerns, including redress. 99. It has been well demonstrated in this particular case that the complainants have only brought cases before the national courts. In this regard , the Commission considers that the conditions of Article 56(7) have been met. African Commission Decision on Admissibility 100.
