possible obstacles in the access to justice for persons of scarce economic resources, in relation with the content of article 24 of the American Convention. 65. After examining the arguments in fact and in law made by the parties, as well as the evidence at its disposal, the Commission considers that it has insufficient evidence to declare that the facts tend to establish a violation of the right to humane treatment provided for by article 5 of the American Convention. 66. In the light of the aforementioned facts, the IACHR does not find that the petition is “manifestly groundless” or “obviously out of order” and considers that, prima facie, the petitioner has complied with the requirements of articles 47(b) and 47(c) of the American Convention on Human Rights. V. CONCLUSIONS 67. The Commission concludes that it is competent to examine the instant case and that the petition is admissible pursuant to articles 46 and 47 of the American Convention. 68. In the light of the foregoing arguments in fact and in law, and without prejudging the merits of the case, THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS DECIDES: 1. To declare the instant case admissible regarding the alleged violations of the rights recognized by articles 4, 8, 24, and 25 of the American Convention, in connection with article 1(1) of same. 2. To notify the parties of this decision. 3. To continue with the analysis of the merits of the case. 4. To publish this report and include it in its Annual Report to the General Assembly of the OAS.
