ورغم دفع صاحب البلاغ بأن مشاركته تقتصر على اهتمام عام بأفكارهم، فإن المحكمة رأت أن صاحب البلاغ تعامل مع هؤلاء الأفراد إلى حد بعيد وأنه، في بعض الحالات، موَّل أنشطتهم.
6.10 The Committee reaches the same conclusion with respect to the author's claim under article 26, as he has failed to pursue any remedy under section 15 of the Charter, which reads: “Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.” Although “discrimination on political or other opinion”, which is explicitly referred to in article 26 of the Covenant, is not listed in Section 15 of the Charter, the list is preceded and qualified by the terms “in particular”, which suggests that the list is not exhaustive.
