The existence of this offence has been alleged to deter denunciations of rape, because, if the alleged perpetrator is acquitted, the alleged victim may be prosecuted under this Ordinance.

The police had found the author and the alleged victim naked in the hotel room when entering it.

He also argues that the evidence based on what the alleged victim had told police officers, social workers and the doctor was not considered hearsay and thus admissible evidence, whereas the affidavit of desistance signed by the alleged victim, and the testimony of the district public attorney who administered it, was considered hearsay by the judge, because the alleged victim had not come to court to confirm its contents.

Communications may be submitted by individuals or groups of individuals who claim to be victims of violations of the rights set forth in the Convention, or by their designated representatives, or by others on behalf of an alleged victim where the alleged victim consents.

The Court considered that these accounts by the alleged victim, although made out of court, were not simple hearsay.

It covers the range of involvement of the child whether as victim or complainant, alleged offender, or as witness.

The author or authors of a communication or the individuals who are alleged to be the victim or victims of a violation of the rights set forth in the Convention may request that the names and identifying details of the alleged victim or victims (or any of them) not be published.

In cases where the author can justify such action, communications may be submitted on behalf of an alleged victim without her consent.

Judicial officials allegedly often failed to act independently, by accepting police officers accounts at face value, while questioning extensively the alleged victim.

In subsequent interviews, the alleged victim told the same story to Assistant City Prosecutor Aurelio, to one Dr. Caday, and two social workers.

2.5 Dr. Caday, who examined and interviewed the alleged victim after the incident, concluded in a medical certificate that the victim claimed to have been sodomized, but that the examination neither confirmed nor contradicted this statement.

(ii) Articles 1382 and 1384 of the Civil Code which allow a victim to sue the alleged tortfeasors and his master respectively for damages

The Committee eventually adopted this option, but underlined that third parties could act only with the knowledge and the agreement of the alleged victim.

Failure to respect that provision, in particular through such irreparable action as deporting an alleged victim, undermined protection of the rights enshrined in the Convention.

2.8 Despite a subpoena order against the alleged victim and his parents, they did not appear in hearings on 31 October and 10 November 1995.

(b) Authors on behalf of individuals or groups of individuals The existing international human rights communications procedures allow alleged victims to designate a representative to bring a communication, for example, a legal counsel or some other agent representing the alleged victim.

It was further alleged that when the alleged perpetrator of rape is a member of the police, army or other governmental official, the police often refuse to register a complaint, or pressure or bribe the victim into dropping the charges.

4.2 The Committee notes that the author does not claim that he is a victim of the alleged violations of the Covenant by the State party.

Under rule 86 of the rules of procedure, the State party was further requested to avoid any action which might cause irreparable harm to the alleged victim.
