A/HRC/WG.7/2/2 matters covered by the Convention and the Optional Protocols thereto, to submit collective communications as provided for in paragraph 1 of the present article. Article 4 Admissibility The Committee shall consider a communication inadmissible when: (a) The communication is anonymous; (b) The communication constitutes an abuse of the right of submission of such communications or is incompatible with the provisions of the Convention and/or the Optional Protocols thereto; (c) The same matter has already been examined by the Committee or has been or is being examined under another procedure of international investigation or settlement; (d) All available domestic remedies have not been exhausted. This shall not be the rule where the application of the remedies is unreasonably prolonged or unlikely to bring effective relief. The Committee shall interpret the application of the remedies in a manner sensitive to the impact that delays may cause to a child’s well-being and development; (e) It is manifestly ill-founded or not sufficiently substantiated; (f) The facts that are the subject of the communication occurred prior to the entry into force of the present Protocol for the State party concerned, unless those facts continued after that date. Article 5 Interim measures 1. At any time after the receipt of a communication and before a determination on the merits has been reached, the Committee may transmit to the State party concerned for its urgent consideration a request that the State party take such interim measures as may be necessary to avoid possible irreparable damage to the victim or victims of the alleged violations. 2. Where the Committee exercises its discretion under paragraph 1 of the present article, this does not imply a determination on admissibility or on the merits of the communication. Article 6 Transmission of the communication 1. Unless the Committee considers a communication inadmissible without reference to the State party concerned, the Committee shall bring any communication submitted to it under the present Protocol confidentially to the attention of the State party concerned as soon as possible. 2. The identity of any individual or group of individuals concerned shall not be revealed to the State party or otherwise without the express consent of the individual or individuals concerned.
