Discrimination (CERD), the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the Committee Against Torture (CAT), the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the Committee on Migrant Workers (CMW). 116. The Charter bodies are those created under the UN Charter and include the Human Rights Council (HRC), Special procedures of the Human Rights Council, in particular, the 1503 procedure20 and the Sub-Commission for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights. 117. To be settled also requires that the treaty or Charter body dealing with the matter has taken a decision which addresses the concerns, including the relief being sought by the Complainant. It is not enough for the matter to simply be discussed by these bodies. In the opinion of this Commission, the present Communication was never submitted to any of these bodies, either by the present Complainant or any other individual or institution. The general human rights situation in the region was rather discussed by the UN Security Council following reports from different organizations, including agencies of the UN itself. None of these bodies specifically dealt with, or was intended to deal with the allegations raised in the present Communication and it can thus not be said that the matter has been dealt with or settled as required under Article 56 (7) of the African Charter. 118. The African Commission agrees with the Respondent State‟s argument that the Complainants‟ argument relating to Ethiopia‟s protection of political groups from genocide is irrelevant to the present issue of admissibility. In same vein, the Commission notes that the Respondent State‟s argument relating to the nature of the remedy sought by the complainants is irrelevant to the present issue of admissibility, and prematurely raised at this stage. The Commission cannot therefore pronounce upon it at the present stage, and notes that the proceedings on the merits would thus place the Commission in a better position to make a finding in this regard. 119. Finally, in respect of the Respondent State‟s submission that the present Communication does not conform with the procedures in the African Charter, as it was done by way of a mere letter of appeal sent to the (then) Special Rapporteur on Prisons and Conditions of Detention in Africa. The African Commission notes that while Article 47 of the African Charter and Rule 88 of its old Rules of Procedure, which relate only to Inter-State Communications, prescribe that 20 See Amnesty International v. Tunisia, African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights, Comm. No. 69/92 (1994) where the communication had been dealt with under the 1503 procedure and later brought to the African Commission. The Commission declared it inadmissible in accordance with Article 56(7) of the African Charter. 23
