8 39. The case file does not indicate that the subject of the petition is pending in any other international proceeding or that it reproduces a petition already examined by this or any other international body. Therefore, it is appropriate to consider the requirements established in Articles 46(1)(c) and 47(d) of the Convention as having been met. 4. Characterization of the alleged facts 40. Given the elements of fact and law submitted by the parties and the nature of the case presented for hearing by the Commission, the Commission finds it appropriate in the instant case to establish that the allegations of the petitioners regarding the alleged irregularities committed during the enforcement phase of the labor case, the supposed unwarranted delay in the conduct of the process, and the alleged lack of impartiality on the part of the judicial officers who heard the case could characterize violations of the rights to judicial guarantees and judicial protection, which are protected in Articles 8(1) and 25 as they relate to Article 1(1) of the American Convention. V. CONCLUSIONS 41. The Commission concludes that it is competent to examine the complaints submitted by the petitioner regarding the alleged violation of Articles 8(1) and 25 as they relate to Article 1(1) of the American Convention and are admissible in accordance with the requirements established in Articles 46 and 47 of the American Convention. 42. Based on the factual and legal arguments presented above and without thereby prejudging the merits of the matter, THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS, DECIDES: 1. To declare the complaints admissible with respect to Articles 8(1) and 25 as they relate to Article 1(1) of the American Convention. 2. To report this decision to the Ecuadorian State and the petitioner. 3. To continue with analysis of the merits of the case. 4. Assembly. To publish this decision and include it in its Annual Report to the OAS General Done and signed in the city of Washington, D.C., on November 1st, 2010. (Signed): Felipe González, President; Dinah Shelton, Second Vice-President; María Silvia Guillén, José de Jesús Orozco Henríquez, and Rodrigo Escobar Gil, members of the Commission.
