presumably of public interest, the effects that said sanctions have had on the petitioner, and the alleged irregularities in the criminal trial, could characterize a possible violation of the rights established in Articles 13, 8, and 25 of the American Convention regarding obligations established in Article 1(1) of that instrument. Likewise, although it was not alleged by the petitioner, by virtue of the principle of iura novit curia (the courts know the law), the Commission considers pertinent to analyze a possible application of Article 2 of the American Convention in its merit report. 47. The Commission also considers that the facts related to the inability to leave the country, or to vote or be elected to political posts, within the framework of a criminal trial and/or as a result of conviction presumably incompatible with the American Convention, may constitute possible violations of the rights established in Articles 22 and 23 of that instrument. 48. Finally, the Commission finds that the facts alleged and the information submitted by the petitioner do not characterize potential violations of the rights established in Articles 11 and 24 of the American Convention. Therefore, it declares that part of the petition inadmissible. V. CONCLUSION 49. Based on the arguments of fact and law presented above, and without pre-judging the merits of the case, the Inter-American Commission concludes that this case meets the requirements of admissibility stipulated in Articles 46 and 47 of the American Convention, and therefore THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION OF HUMAN RIGHTS, DECIDES: 1. To declare this petition admissible with regard to the alleged violations of the rights established in Articles 13, 22, 23, 8, and 25 pursuant to Articles 1(1) and 2 of the American Convention. The possible application of article 2 of the American Convention was included by the IACHR so as to analyze it in the merits phase by virtue of principle iura novit curia. 2. To declare inadmissible the complaint under Articles 11 and 24 of said instrument. 3. To notify the State and the petitioner of this report.
