3 Francis Mansingh have been sentenced to the penalty of death for the crime of murder in Trinidad and Tobago and whose cases have not been submitted for examination under any other procedure of international investigation or settlement to any other international organisation; b) in each case, the petition states facts that tend to establish a violation of the rights guaranteed under the Convention. In particular, the petitions alleged that the alleged victims’ conditions of detention in prison violate the State’s obligations under Article 5 of the Convention, and that the trials that resulted in their convictions and sentences were unfair, contrary to Article 8 of the said Convention, acts that were taken by the State prior to 26 May 1999, the effective date of the State’s denunciation of the Convention; c) certain issues raised by the circumstances of the alleged victims, in particular the compatibility of their death sentences with the rights protected under the Convention, cannot be effectively challenged before domestic courts in the State, and therefore, effective domestic remedies do not appear to be available; d) the Commission requested precautionary measures in each of these cases pursuant to Article 29(2) of the Commission’s Regulations, with no response from the State; e) the State’s denunciation of the Convention, pursuant to Article 78 of said instrument, should not be considered to affect the jurisdiction of either the Court or the Commission to entertain these matters; f) the Commission has not had the opportunity to complete its examination of these complaints and to issue decisions in all of these cases, and, given these circumstances, it considers that the execution of the two individuals would render any eventual decision of the Commission moot, in terms of the efficacy of potential remedies, causing irreparable harm to the individuals to whom the sentences and complaints relate. 6.
