reached with respect to the merits of the allegations mentioned in the foregoing paragraphs. Therefore, the arguments put forth require an analysis on the merits in light of the standards of the American Convention. 46. As for the petitioners’ claim of an alleged violation of Article 4 of the American Convention on Human Rights, the Commission observes that the petitioners did not offer specific or sufficient information regarding its alleged violation, thus that claim is not found admissible.

It also concludes that the claim on the alleged violation of Article 4 of the American Convention is found inadmissible. 48.
