The Commission found that Mauritania committed grave and massive violations of the African Charter, including arbitrary detention, torture, executions, discrimination, denial of fair trial, deprivation of property, health, and family rights, and practices analogous to slavery. The amnesty law did not bar international responsibility. The respondent failed to refute the factual allegations, and the violations were established by the evidence and admissions.
