dismissals.…” 15 In view of the foregoing considerations, the IACHR deems that the initial claims in relations to the referenced alleged victims have varied substantially, without the petitioner having submitted information as to the subsistence of those persons’ claims before this international body, or additional arguments or factual information that tend to establish the violation of rights protected in the Convention to their detriment. Therefore, the IACHR concludes that the claims made in petition 157-99 are inadmissible, pursuant to Article 47(b) of the Convention with respect to Ms. Luz Angélica Soria Cañas and Ms. Dusnara Amelia Campos Ramírez. 47. In the merits stage the IACHR will evaluate the positions of the Peruvian State, according to which the alleged violations of the Convention as described in petition 157-99 with respect to the alleged victims María Gracia Barriga Oré and José Castro Ballena were cured upon the re-establishment of the employment relationship with Congress as of August 1995, for her, and upon the temporary contracting of him in a staff position of trust in the same legislative body. 48. As for the alleged violation of the right enshrined in Article 24 of the American Convention, the IACHR considers that these petitions do not contain elements that indicate the potential violation of that provision. CONCLUSIONS Based on the considerations of fact and law set forth above, and without prejudging on the merits, the Inter-American Commission concludes that petitions 157-99 and 12.214 satisfy the admissibility requirements set forth at Articles 46 and 47 of the American Convention, and, accordingly, THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS, DECIDES: 1. To declare admissible the claims set forth in petition 157-99 on behalf of the alleged victims José Castro Ballena and María Gracia Barriga Oré, in relation to Articles 8(1) and 25 of the American Convention, in connection with the obligations established in Articles 1(1) and 2 of the same instrument. 2. To declare admissible petition 12.214 in relation to Articles 8(1) and 25 of the American Convention in connection with the obligations established in Articles 1(1) and 2 of the same instrument. 3. To declare inadmissible the claims made in petition 157-99 on behalf of Luz Angélica Soria Cañas and Dusnara Amelia Campos Ramírez, pursuant to Article 47(b) of the American Convention. 4. To declare inadmissible the alleged violation of the right established in Article 24 of the Convention, with respect to petitions 157-99 and 12.214, pursuant to Article 47(b) thereof. 5. To notify the State and the petitioners of this decision. 6. To join the two petitions considered in this Admissibility Report as case 12.214 and to proceed to consider the case on the merits. 7. To publish this decision and include it in the Annual Report, to be presented to the General Assembly of the OAS. Aproved on the 1st day of the month of November, 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. 15 See supra note 9. 9
