10 2. Timeliness of the Petition 50. Article 46.1.b of the Convention establishes that for the petition to be admissible, it must be lodged within a period of six months from the date on which the party alleging violation of his rights was notified of the final judgment. As the Commission has already stressed, the decision exhausting the domestic remedies as regards the four alleged victims was the judgment of July 30, 2003, which declared the reconsideration appeal groundless. The petition was presented on January 22, 2004, and therefore this requirement is satisfied, for this section of the petition. 51. With respect to the petitioners' allegations in relation to the investigation undertaken into the murder of Olimpíades Gonzáles, the IACHR has established the application of exceptions to the prior exhaustion of domestic remedies in accordance with Article 46.2.c of the American Convention. In this regard, Article 32 of the Commission's Rules establishes that in cases where the exceptions to the prior exhaustion of domestic remedies apply, the petition must be presented within a reasonable period of time, at the Commission's discretion. To this end, the Commission must consider the date when the alleged violation of the rights occurred and the circumstances of each case. 52. Olimpíades Gonzáles was the victim of an attack in September 2001, for which he requested domestic protective measures that, according to the petitioners, were not implemented. The petition was received on January 22, 2004, and the murder of Olimpíades Gonzáles occurred on December 11, 2006, the date on which the criminal investigation still pending was initiated. The effects of the lack of results in the administration of justice continue up to the present. Therefore, in view of the context and characteristics of the present petition, the Commission considers that for this section, the requirement for admissibility with reference to the time limit for submission is satisfied. 3. Duplication of Proceedings and International Res Judicata 53. The case file of the petition does not contain any information to conclude that the present petition is pending before another international proceeding for settlement, nor that it reproduces a petition previously examined by the Inter-American Commission. Therefore, the IACHR concludes that the exceptions set out in Article 46.1.d and Article 47.d of the American Convention do not apply. 4. Colorable Claim 54. The Commission considers that the alleged arbitrary deprivation of liberty of Belkis Mirelis Gonzáles, Fernando and María Angélica Gonzáles and Wilmer Antonio Barliza Gonzáles during the criminal trial held against them, if proved, may characterize possible violations of the rights to personal liberty and to judicial protection enshrined in Articles 7 and 25 of the American Convention, in conjunction with Article 1.1. 55. Neither the American Convention nor the IACHR Rules of Procedure require a petitioner to identify the specific rights allegedly violated by the State in the matter brought before the Commission, although petitioners may do so. It is for the Commission, based on the system's jurisprudence, to determine in its admissibility report which provisions of the relevant InterAmerican instruments are applicable and could be found to have been violated if the alleged facts are proven by sufficient elements. 56. Furthermore, the Commission considers that the facts related to the alleged deprivation of liberty of the victims along with convicted individuals, if proved, may characterize a
