on the actions of the State authorities. 111 In this regard, the Luanda Guidelines provide for the right of an arrested person to urgent medical assistance, to request and receive a medical examination and to obtain access to existing medical facilities. 112 Therefore, as a minimum core obligation the Respondent State is required to respect and fulfil the right to health by refraining from denying or limiting equal access to healthcare, and adopting measures to ensure physical accessibility for all persons, particularly vulnerable and disadvantaged groups, including detainees. 11 3 174. Regarding the inadequacy of the medical care, it is observed from the Complainant's testimony that the treatment administered did not relieve his pain, as he persisted in his request to visit a hospital even after his transfer from al-Nuhood to El-Obeid prison, and subsequently notified his lawyer that his requests had been rejected by the prison authorities. 114 The Commission therefore finds that in the absence of any indication that the Complainant's condition had improved after his initial visit to a doctor, or that his state of health had been properly reassessed, it was incumbent on the Respondent State to take necessary measures to protect his health, given that he was held in the custody of the State authorities. 115 Consequently, the Commission finds a violation of Article 16 of the African Charter. Alleged violation of Article 1 175.The Complainant has submitted that the Respondent State's failure to prevent the Charter violations, and its reliance on the overbroad and vague provisions of the National Security Act and the Emergency Law constitutes violations of Article 1 of the African Charter. 176. Artide 1 of the African Charter stipulates that" ... parties to the DCharter shall recognise the rights, duties and freedoms enshrined in the Charter and shall adopt legislative or other measures to give effect to them".
