7. According to section VII (1) of the Revised Communication Guidelines (hereinafter the Revised Guidelines), the Committee may adopt a provisional measure where it considers that one or more Communications submitted to it or pending before it reveal a situation of urgency, serious or massive violations of the African Children's Charter and the likelihood of irreparable harm to a child or children in violation of the African Children's Charter. 8. The African Court of Human and People's Rights, in the case of The African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights Vs.
