the Convention, and not to establish whether there was such a violation. This examination is a summary analysis that implies no prejudgment or advanced opinion on the substance of the matter. The Commission's Rules of Procedure, in establishing two clear stages of admissibility and merits, reflects this distinction between the evaluation that the Commission must reform in order to declare a petition admissible and that required to establish a violation of human rights. 88. In the present case, pursuant to Article 47.b of the American Convention, the Commission considers that the arguments of the petitioners are well founded and pertinent for determining, in an examination of the merits, whether the facts constitute violations of the American Convention. 89. The Commission considers that petitioners' complaints about the failure of the Province of Salta to implement a policy to demarcate and award title to lands in a legal form that respects the communities' way of life could, if proven, characterize violations of the rights guaranteed in Article 8 (due process), 13 (freedom of thought and expression) in connection with Article 23 (political rights), Article 21 (right to private property), and Article 25 (judicial protection), of the American Convention, in relation with the general obligations enshrined in Articles 1 and 2 of that treaty. 90. Consequently, the IACHR does not find the petition to be "manifestly groundless" or untimely. On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission considers that the admissibility requirements of Article 47.b and c of the American Convention are satisfied. V. CONCLUSION 91. The Commission concludes that it is competent to examine the claim submitted by the petitioners, pursuant to Articles 46 and 27 of the Convention 92. By virtue of the arguments of fact and of law set forth above, and without prejudging the merits of the case, THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS DECIDES: 1. To declare the petition admissible as it relates to alleged violations of the rights protected in Articles 8, 13 in connection with 23,
