Admissibility
The Working Group’s decision on the admissibility of a communication is guided by the following criteria – the communication should:
• not reflect political motivation of  any kind;
• have reasonable grounds for establishing that there is a consistent pattern of gross and reliably attested violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms;

• come from individuals or groups claiming to be victims of human rights violations or having direct, reliable knowledge of violations. Anonymous communications are inadmissible, as are those based only on reports in the mass media;
• describe the facts, the purpose and the rights that have been violated. As a rule, communications containing abusive language or insulting remarks about the State against which the complaint is directed will not be consid- ered;
• have first exhausted all domestic remedies, unless it can be shown con- vincingly that solutions at national level would be ineffective or that they would extend over an unreasonable length of time.
Communications intended for handling under the “1503” procedure may be addressed to:

Nourish and enrich them.”
