68. The Complainant asserts that, against this background, the deprivation of nationality for want of documentary evidence is strongly suspected when the State does not offer adequate and effective access for the registration and for birth certificate of children born on the territory. In reviewing the application for nationality, the theoretical possibility of the nationality of another State is inapplicable. In this regard, the Complainant calls on the Commission to focus particular attention on children born in Côte d’Ivoire by parents whose status is unknown or whose Ivorian nationality has been challeneged. 69. Still on the issue of non compliance with the provisions of Article 5 of the Charter, the Complainant asserts that the difference in the treatment imposed on the Dioulas in the area of access to nationality based on « foreign »-sounding names and on Muslim affiliation violates their right to the respect of the dignity inherent in a human being. According to the Complainant, the refusal of the authorities of the Respondent State to issue identity documents to the victims is a denial of their existence, thus violating their dignity, because they are deprived of any legal identity. Furthermore, such a refusal is tantamount to degrading treatment as it is based on ethnic origin and religious affiliation and targeted at a specific section of the society which is relegated to a second class status in the Ivorian society. The Complainant stresses that, the name « Dioula » was originally used to identify the professional group of traders and a patronymic name in the Kong Manding dialect; it was later used as a pejorative and popular reference for all the Mandé and Gur population from the North and consequently for all Muslims. Disqualified from contesting for political office, the « Dioulas » were relegated to the background on the social ladder based on social perceptions disseminated by State ideology which has unfortunately influenced all the ethnic groups in the country. 70. The Complainant reports that the testimonies indicate that persons from the Dioula ethnic group or of foreign origin faced acts of harassment and abuses during the 2000 elections, including in particular sexual abuses in the West of the country where the victims were targeted because of their ethnic origin or their perceived nationality. The Dioulas were also made to pay fines during the process of obtaining nationality documentation and even in everyday life; more than 55 percent of persons interviewed had the inner feeling that their identity was consistently called into question. 71. Concerning subsequent violations, the Complainant alleges that the refusal to issue passports to victims infringed on their freedom of movement laid down in Article 12 of the Charter. In this regard, the Complainant affirms that the difficulties associated with the recognition of their Ivorian nationality resulted in the inability of most of the Dioulas to obtain a passport and 18
