وتلاحظ اللجنة "أنه كان بإمكان صاحب البلاغ أن يمارس حق النقض بموجب النظام القانوني في الدولة الطرف لو أن محكمة كتالونيا العليا تولت محاكمته، على أن صاحب البلاغ هو الذي أصر مراراً وتكراراً على أن تحاكمه المحكمة العليا مباشرة.
Considering the nature of the case and questions dealt with during this period, particularly the author's interrogation by police officers and the reconstruction of the crime, in which the author was not invited to participate, the Committee is of the view that the author should have had the possibility of consulting and being represented by a lawyer. Consequently, and in the absence of any relevant information from the State party, the Committee is of the view that the facts before it constitute a violation of article 14, paragraph 1, of the Covenant.
