7 punishment of those responsible, the IACHR considers that, if proven, they could constitute failure to comply with the obligations established in Articles 1, 6, and 8 of the ICPPT.] 36. In the merits phase the Commission will examine whether the treatment of forced disappearance under domestic law and the potential negative effects of the amnesty laws on the investigation of the facts constitute noncompliance with the obligation to take measures under domestic law, set forth in Articles 2 of the American Convention and III of the Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappearance of Persons. 37. Finally, inasmuch as the facts alleged by the petitioners do not appear to be obviously out of order or manifestly groundless, the Commission concludes that the complaint satisfies the requirements set forth in articles 47(b) and (c) of the American Convention.
